NEET2019ChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular StructureActual
The manganate and permanganate ions are tetrahedral, due to:
Options
- AThe π -bonding involves overlap of p -orbitals of oxygen with d -orbitals of manganese
- BThere is no π -bonding
- CThe π -bonding involves overlap of p -orbitals of oxygen with p -orbitals of manganese
- DThe π -bonding involves overlap of d -orbitals of oxygen with d -orbitals of manganese
Correct answer
A. The π -bonding involves overlap of p -orbitals of oxygen with d -orbitals of manganese
Step-by-step solution
The manganate and permanganate ions are tetrahedral due to the π - bonding involves overlap of p - orbitals of oxygen with d - orbitals of manganate.
