Charge of Manganese
Manganese, a transition metal, exhibits variable oxidation states, affecting its charge. The oxidation state of an ion represents the hypothetical charge it would have if all bonds were ionic. In the case of manganese, it can exist in multiple oxidation states, including +2, +3, +4, +6, and +7. The charge varies depending on the number of electrons lost or gained during chemical reactions, influencing the compound’s properties and behaviors.
