The highest oxidation state of manganese is
Correct answer: A. +7
- A. +7
- B. -7
- C. +6
- D. +4
Explanation
Mn belongs to group (VIIB)of periodic table. So, its maximum oxidation state should be +7. Because maximum oxidation state is equal to group no of element.

About Transition Elements
Transition elements are identified by their partially filled d subshells in atoms or common ions. The topic covers the electronic structure of d-block elements, including the filling order of 4s and 3d orbitals, variable oxidation states and the distinction between transition elements and elements with completely filled d subshells.
