MCQ
The incorrect statement is :
  • A
    In manganate and permanganate ions, the $\pi$ $-$bonding takes place by overlap of $p-$orbitals of oxygen and $d-$orbitals of manganese
  • B
    Manganate ion is green in colour and permanganate ion in purple in colour
  • Manganate and permanganate ions are paramagnetic
  • D
    Manganate and permanganate ions are tetrahedral

Answer

Correct option: C.
Manganate and permanganate ions are paramagnetic
c
Option $1)$ Manganate $\Rightarrow MnO _{4}^{2-}$

Permanganate $\Rightarrow MnO _{4}^{-}$

$2 \times 2 P _{\pi}-3 d _{\pi}$

$1 \times 2 P _{\pi}-4 P _{\pi}$

$(2)$ $MnO _{4}^{2-} \Rightarrow$ green

$MnO _{\stackrel -4} \Rightarrow$ purple/violet

$(3)$ Manganate contains $1$ unpaired electron hence it is paramagnetic

where as permanganetic contains no unpaired electrons hence it is diamagnetic.

$(4)$ Both have d's hybridisation hence both have tetrahedral geometry.
