Type: MCQ-diagram based-Hard-Class 12
Consider a diagram showing the structure of a permanganate ion. Identify the type of bonding involved in the permanganate ion based on its tetrahedral structure.

A
p-bonding involving p orbitals of oxygen
B
d-bonding involving d orbitals of manganese
C
pi-bonding involving d-p orbital overlap
D
s-bonding involving s orbitals of manganese
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context mentions that in the tetrahedral structure of manganate and permanganate ions, 'the p-bonding takes place by overlap of p orbitals of oxygen', indicating p-bonding involving p orbitals of oxygen.
