Answer:
since Fe+2 = (Ar) 3d6 and has 4 unpaired electrons . and after losing one more electron by oxidation it will have 3d5 configuration and will have half filled orbital stability.
but Mn+2 = (Ar) 3d4 and after losing one more electron it will remain unstable as well.
Hence for gaining more stability. More will be the reactivity towards oxidation.
hope it will help you
