Question Image

MnO42ion has one unpaired electrons, therefore it gives d-d transition to form green colour. Y complex has paramagnetic nature due to presence of one unpaired electron.In aqueous solution,

K2MnO(W)(aq)+H2OElectrolytic oxidationH2+KOH+KMnO4(X)KMnO4(aq)ΔK++MnO4(Z)

Question Image

MnO4ions gives charge transfer spectrum in which a fraction of electronic charge is transferred between the molecular entities.

MnO42oxidationElectrolyticMnO4+e

In acidic medium, Y undergoes disproportionation reaction

3MnO42(Y)(aq)+4H+2Mno4(Z)+MnO2+2H2O

MnO42(Y) and  MnO4 (z)  both ions form π-bonding between p-orbitals of oxygen and d-orbitals of manganese. Thus, options (a,c,d) are correct.
