Question

A compound is in its low oxidation state. Then its will be highly acidic highly basic highest oxidising property half acidic, half basic

Answer 1

So, it only gives up one of it's electrons. Making it a much weaker oxidizing agent. (In a neutral solution, it gives up 3 electrons to form MnO2 and some hydroxide ions.) ... For these reasons KMnO4 is a strong oxidizing agent in acidic solution as compared to neutral and basic solution. .
