Correct Answer: MnO 4


Solution : The correct option is MnO 4 .

The polyatomic ion MnO 4 has a tetrahedral shape, a dark purple hue, and is composed of manganese and oxygen. Due to the Mn atom's +7 oxidation state and d orbital configuration, there are no unpaired electrons in the d orbitals of the MnO 4 ion. The charge shift that takes place when an electron is moved from the oxygen atoms to the Mn atom gives the MnO 4 ion its purple colour.
