A
there is no π-bonding
B
the π-bonding involves overlap of p-orbitals of oxygen with p-orbitals of manganese
C
the π-bonding involves overlap of d-orbitals of oxygen with d-orbitals of manganese
D
the π-bonding involves overlap of p-orbitals of oxygen with d-orbitals of manganese
Correct Answer
Option D
Detailed Explanation
The tetrahedral geometry of manganate and permanganate ions is due to the π-bonding involving overlap of p-orbitals of oxygen with d-orbitals of manganese.
