Questions
Account for the following:
Mn shows the highest oxidation state of +7 with oxygen but with fluorine, it shows oxidation state of +4.
Give reasons:
Mn shows the highest oxidation state of +7 with oxygen but with fluorine, it shows the highest oxidation state of +4.

Solution 1
In case of oxygen, Mn shows the highest oxidation state of +7. This is because Mn forms pπ–dπ multiple bonds using 2p orbitals of oxygen and 3d orbitals of Mn. With F, Mn displays an oxidation state of +4 because of the single bond formation caused by the unavailability of 2p orbitals in F for multiple bonding.
Solution 2
Mn shows the highest oxidation state of +7 with oxygen because it can form ppi−dpi multiple bonds using 2p orbital of oxygen and 3d orbital of Mn. On the other hand, Mn shows the highest oxidation state of +4 with flourine because it can form single bond only.
