Fusion of MnO2, with KOH in presence of O2 produces a salt W. Alkaline solution of W upon electrolytic oxidation yields another salt X. The manganese containing ions present in W and X, respectively are Y and Z. Correct statement(s) is (are) (2019)
  1. In both Y and Z, \(\pi\)-bonding occurs between p orbitals of oxygen and d-orbitals of manganese
  2. Both Y and Z are coloured and have tetrahedral shape
  3. In aqueous acidic solution, Y undergoes disproportionation reaction to give Z and MnO2
  4. Y is diamagnetic in nature while Z is paramagnetic

Answer

(A) In both Y and Z, -bonding occurs between p orbitals of oxygen and d-orbitals of manganese, (B) Both Y and Z are coloured and have tetrahedral shape, (C) In aqueous acidic solution, Y undergoes disproportionation reaction to give Z and MnO 2
