Highest oxidation state of manganese in fluoride is +4 (MnF4) but highest oxidation state in oxides is +7 (Mn2O7) because
- fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen
- fluorine does not possess d-orbitals
- fluorine stabilises lower oxidation state
- in covalent compounds, fluorine can form single bond only while oxygen forms double bond.
Answer
(D) in covalent compounds, fluorine can form single bond only while oxygen forms double bond.
