Highest oxidation state of manganese in fluoride is +4(Mn) but highest oxidation state in oxides is +7() because
1. | Fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen |
2. | Fluorine does not possess d orbitals |
3. | Fluorine stabilises lower oxidation state |
4. | In covalent compounds, fluorine can form single bond only while oxygen forms double bond |
