MCQ
The oxidation number of $\text{Mn}$ is $+8$ in the compound:
  • A
    $ \mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{MnO}_4$
  • $ \mathrm{MnO}_4 $
  • C
    $ \mathrm{KMnO}_4$
  • D
    $ \mathrm{Mn}_2 \mathrm{O}_7 $

Answer

Correct option: B.
$ \mathrm{MnO}_4 $
In $ \mathrm{MnO}_4 $
manganese oxidation number is $+8.$
Oxidation number of oxygen is $−2. \mathrm{MnO}_4 $
​​​​​​​ is neutral molecule so total oxidation number of molecule is zero.
Oxidation number of $\text{Mn} + 4(−2) = 0$
Oxidation number of $\text{Mn} = +8.$
