A. The geometry of both manganate and permanganate ions is tetrahedral.
B. The oxidation states of Mn in manganate and permanganate are +7 and +6, respectively.
C. Oxidation of Mn(II) salt by peroxodisulphate gives manganate ion as the final product.
D. Manganate ion is paramagnetic and permanganate ion is diamagnetic.
E. Acidified permanganate ion reduces oxalate, nitrite and iodide ions.

(2)

$Manganate ion \to {MnO}_{4}^{2 -}$

$Permanganate ion \to {MnO}_{4}^{-}$

(A) Both are tetrahedral ( $d^{3} s$ Hybridisation)

(B) ${MnO}_{4}^{-}$ (+7 oxidation state)

${MnO}_{4}^{2 -}$ (+6 oxidation state)

(C) ${Mn}^{2 +} + S_{2} O_{8}^{2 -} \to {MnO}_{4}^{-}$ (Permanganate ion)

(D) ${MnO}_{4}^{-} \to$ Diamagnetic

${MnO}_{4}^{2 -} \to$ Paramagnetic

(E) It is oxidising agent
