Identify the ionic charge and magnetic nature respectively of manganate ion.
Options
- A-1, Diamagnetic
- B-2, Diamagnetic
- C-2, Paramagnetic
- D-1, Paramagnetic
Correct answer
C. -2, Paramagnetic
Step-by-step solution
Manganate ion is paramagnetic due to presence of unpaired electron. Chemical formula for manganate and permanganate ion respectively are Mn2-4 and mnO-4. Thus, the ionic charge of manganate and permangante ion are respectively -2 and -1.25-
