NEET 2019 · ChemistryPrevious Year Question

The manganate () and permanganate () ions are tetrahedral, due to:

Answer: (A) (a) the -bonding involves overlap of p-orbitals of oxygen with d-orbitals of manganese.. \textbf{Answer:} (a) The -bonding involves overlap of p-orbitals of oxygen with d-orbitals of manganese.

  1. A.(a) the -bonding involves overlap of p-orbitals of oxygen with d-orbitals of manganese.✓
  2. B.(b) there is no -bonding.
  3. C.(c) the -bonding involves overlap of p-orbitals of oxygen with p-orbitals of manganese.
  4. D.(d) the -bonding involves overlap of d-orbitals of oxygen with d-orbitals of manganese.

Correct Answer

(A) (a) the -bonding involves overlap of p-orbitals of oxygen with d-orbitals of manganese.

Solution & Explanation

\textbf{Answer:} (a) The -bonding involves overlap of p-orbitals of oxygen with d-orbitals of manganese. \textbf{Solution:} In both and the manganese is tetrahedrally surrounded by four oxygen atoms. The bonds have partial double-bond () character that comes from - bonding: the filled p-orbitals of oxygen overlap with the empty d-orbitals of manganese. This stabilises the tetrahedral arrangement. Hence option (a) is correct.
