The charge on the manganese in the salt MnF₃ is ________. A)1+ B)1- C)2+ D)2- E)3+

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The salt mentioned is MnF2, where manganese is combined with fluoride (F), which has a charge of 1-. Since there are two fluorides, the total negative charge is 2-. To balance this, manganese must have a charge of 2+, making the correct answer 2+. However, due to the formatting error in the question, it incorrectly suggests an answer related to a non-existent compound. Based on the correct interpretation of MnF2, the charge on manganese should be 2+. Given the options, none directly match this correct interpretation due to the formatting error, but the closest intended option appears to be E) 3+ by mistake.
