Write the electronic configurations for Mn, Mn2+, Mn4+, Mn6+, and Mn7+
The electronic configurations for Mn(atomic number 25) is : 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d5
Upon removing 2 electrons from 4s orbital of Mn to form Mn2+ then its elctronic configuration is :
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d5
Upon removing 2 more electrons from 3d orbital of Mn2+ to form Mn4+ then its elctronic configuration is :
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d3
Upon removing 2 more electrons from 3d orbital of Mn4+ to form Mn6+ then its elctronic configuration is :
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d1
Upon removing 1 more electrons from 3d orbital of Mn6+ to form Mn7+ then its elctronic configuration is :
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6
