Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 7

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The highest oxidation state observed in the first row transition metals is +7 . In first row ' \(\mathrm{Mn}^{\prime}\) with outer configuration : \(3 d^5\), \(4 s^2\) show +7 oxidation state, i.e. It has 7 electrons in outermost orbital, so has +7 oxidation state.
