Question:

The manganate and permanganate ions are tetrahedral, due to:

the π- bonding involves overlap of p-orbitals of oxygen with d - orbitals of manganese.

the π- bonding involves overlap of p - orbital of oxygen with p - orbitals of manganese.

there is no π- bonding

the π- bonding involves overlap of d-orbitals of oxygen with d-orbitals of manganese.

Solution:

Correct option is A. the π- bonding involves overlap of p-orbitals of oxygen with d - orbitals of manganese. The π- bonding involves an overlap of p- orbitals of oxygen with d- orbitals of manganese.
