Hi thank you for asking the question.
The oxidation number is defined as the amount of charge an atom can carry as an ion
Every atom carry some charge and they bond with other atoms to be neutralized
In the compound manganese sulfur di oxide (MnSO4) SO4 contain a charge of -2 so to neutralize it Mn must have a charge of +2
So charge on Mn is +2
Oxidation number can be found by using knowing the number of atom a element has to offer present in the outer most shell
Hope this answer helps you
If it did kindly mark the answer as brainliest
Thank you
