  2. B \(\mathrm{Mn}(\mathrm{II}) \mathrm{O}_2\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Mn}(\mathrm{III}) \mathrm{O}_2\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Mn}(\mathrm{IV}) \mathrm{O}_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{Mn}(\mathrm{IV}) \mathrm{O}_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The oxidation state of \(\mathrm{Mn}\) in manganese dioxde \(\left(\mathrm{MnO}_2\right)\) is +4 . Hence, the stock notation is \(\mathrm{Mn}(\mathrm{IV}) \mathrm{O}_2\).
