As we learnt in

Oxidation Number -

Oxidation number denotes the oxidation state of an element in a compound ascertained according to a set of rules formulated on the basis that electron pair in a covalent bond belongs entirely to more electronegative elements.

-

 

 Let us take the constituents one by one and state their oxidation states.

 

K\overset{+7}{Mn}O_{4},\: O.S. = +7

[\overset{+6}{Mn}O_{4}]^{2}, \:O.S.= +6

MnO_{2},\:O.S.= +4

Mn_{2}O_{3},\:O.S.= +3

Mn^{2+},\:O.S.= +2

\therefore The number of electrons transferred in each case 

= 7-6, 7-4, 7-3, 7-2 respectively.

number of electrons transferred is 1,3,4,5

 


Option 1)

4, 3, 1, 5

Option 2)

1, 5, 3, 7

This option is incorrect.
