Write the formula of an oxo-anion of Manganese (Mn) in which it shows the oxidation state equal to its group number.
The formula of oxo-anion of Manganese is MnO4-
Manganese belongs to group 7.
Let oxidation state of Mn be x, then calculating oxidation state
X + 4×(oxidation state of oxygen ion) = total charge on ion( -1)
X + 4× (-2) = -1
X = 7 = oxidation state of Mn which is equal to its group number.
