Highest oxidation state of Mn is exhibited in Mn 2 O 7 . The correct statements about Mn 2 O 7 are (A) Mn is tetrahedrally surrounded by oxygen atoms (B) Mn is octahedrally surrounded by oxygen atoms (C) Contains Mn - O - Mn bridge (D) Contains Mn - Mn bond. Choose the correct answer from the options given below
Options
- AA and C only
- BA and D only
- CB and D only
- DB and C only
Correct answer
A. A and C only
Step-by-step solution
Each Mn is tetrahedrally surrounded by oxygen atoms. In addition, there is a bridging two-coordinated oxygen atom between two tetrahedral units. The bridged Mn - O has different bond length than the tetrahedrally surrounded Mn - O bond lengths. So, the correct statement is only A and C.
