- D3
Correct answer
C. 6
Step-by-step solution
The manganese heptoxide solubility properties indicate that it is a nonpolar molecular species, which is confirmed by its structure. The molecules consist of a pair of tetrahedra that share a common vertex. The vertices are occupied by oxygen atoms and at the centres of the tetrahedra are the Mn centres. The connectivity is indicated by the formula O 3 Mn − O − MnO 3 .
