- ABoth Y and Z are coloured and have tetrahedral shape
- BY is diamagnetic in nature while Z is paramagnetic
- CIn both Y and Z, -bonding occurs between p-orbitals of oxygen and d-orbitals of manganese
- DIn aqueous acidic solution, Y undergoes disproportionation reaction to give Z and

Correct answer: A, C, D
- Identify salts and
Fusion of with in presence of gives potassium manganate: So,
- Manganese-containing ion in is (manganate ion)
On electrolytic oxidation of alkaline manganate solution, it forms permanganate: Hence,
- permanganate salt (such as )
- Manganese-containing ion in is
- Examine geometry and colour of and
The ions are:
Both are oxoanions of manganese with four oxygens around Mn, so both have tetrahedral geometry.
Both are coloured:
- is green
- is purple
So Option A is correct.
- Check magnetic nature of and
For
Let oxidation state of Mn be : Mn: So is: Thus it has one unpaired electron paramagnetic.
For
So is: Thus it has no unpaired electrons diamagnetic.
Option B says: "Y is diamagnetic while Z is paramagnetic" which is exactly opposite.
So Option B is incorrect.
- Check possibility of -bonding
In both and , bonding is described with interaction between filled -orbitals of oxygen and vacant/available -orbitals of manganese.
Hence Option C is correct.
- Check disproportionation of in acidic medium
, i.e. manganate ion. It is stable in alkaline medium but in acidic/neutral medium it undergoes disproportionation: Thus manganate gives:
- permanganate, i.e.
So Option D is correct.
- Final selection
Correct options are:
This matches the stored correct answer.
