Highest oxidation state of Mn is exhibited in Mn2O7. The correct statements about Mn2O7 are

(A) Mn is tetrahedrally surrounded by oxygen atoms
(B) Mn is octahedrally surrounded by oxygen atoms
(C) Contains Mn-O-Mn bridge
(D) Contains Mn-Mn bond.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Each Mn is tetrahedrally surrounded by oxygen atoms. In addition, there is a bridging two-coordinated oxygen atom between two tetrahedral units. The bridged Mn-O has different bond length than the tetrahedrally surrounded Mn-O bond lengths.

 

So, the correct statement is only A and C.
