Options
- AM n O 4 2 -
- BK 4 V C N 6
- CV O 4 3 -
- DC r O 2 C l 2
Correct answer
A. M n O 4 2 -
Step-by-step solution
M n O 4 2 - ; Mn is in + 6 oxidation state. Electronic configuration is A r 18 3 d 1 4 s 0 . As it contains one unpaired electron it is paramagnetic and green coloured because of d-d transition in visible region. T i C l 6 2 - , V O 4 3 - and C r O 2 C l 2 are diamagnetic.
