Answer 2

Hii mate,

● Why highest Mn fluoride is MnF4 while highest Mn oxide is Mn2O7 -
- Fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen, but it only forms direct ionic bonds with Mn.
- Therefore, highest Mn fluoride is MnF4.
- Oxygen has tendency to stabilize higher oxidation states.
- Also oxygen can form multiple bonds with Mn.
- In Mn2O7, two Mn are joined by Mn-O-Mn bridge and each Mn is tetrahedrally surrounded by 3 more O atoms.



Hope this helps you...
