Mn exhibits more property....
as it has a configuration of :- 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d5
Hence, it can get oxidise by loosing upto 7 electrons
while V has a configuration of :- 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d3
So it can get oxidise by loosing upto 5 electrons
Therefore....
oxidation states of Mn:- +1,2,3,4,5,6,7
" " " V :- +1,2,3,4,5
