Solved: CHEMISTRY Question for NEET

NEET CHEMISTRYMedium

The manganate and permanganate ions are tetrahedral, due to :

The $\pi$ -bonding involves overlap of p-orbitals of oxygen with d-orbitals of manganese

There is no $\pi$ -bonding

The $\pi$ -bonding involves overlap of p-orbitals of oxygen with p-orbitals of manganese

The $\pi$ -bonding involves overlap of d-orbitals of oxygen with d-orbitals of manganese

Step-by-Step Solution

In $MnO_4^{2-}$ and $MnO_4^-$ , the tetrahedral geometry is stabilized by $p\pi-d\pi$ bonding where oxygen's p-orbitals overlap with manganese's d-orbitals.
