Correct answer: C

  1. Identify the nature of each oxide

We need the oxide that shows magnetic property. In general, compounds containing ions with unpaired electrons show magnetic behavior (usually paramagnetism or ferrimagnetism).

  1. Check each option

Option A: MgOMgOMgO

  • Magnesium in MgOMgOMgO is Mg2+Mg^{2+}Mg2+.
  • Electronic configuration of MgMgMg: [Ne]3s2[Ne]3s^2[Ne]3s2
  • So, Mg2+Mg^{2+}Mg2+ has configuration [Ne][Ne][Ne].
  • No unpaired electrons rightarrow diamagnetic.

Option B: SiO2SiO_2SiO2​

  • SiO2SiO_2SiO2​ is a covalent oxide.
  • It does not contain partially filled ddd-orbitals or unpaired electrons responsible for magnetism.
  • Hence, diamagnetic.

Option C: Mn3O4Mn_3O_4Mn3​O4​

  • This is a mixed oxide: MnO⋅Mn2O3MnO \cdot Mn_2O_3MnO⋅Mn2​O3​.
  • It contains both Mn2+Mn^{2+}Mn2+ and Mn3+Mn^{3+}Mn3+ ions.
  • Mn2+Mn^{2+}Mn2+: 3d53d^53d5 rightarrow unpaired electrons present.
  • Mn3+Mn^{3+}Mn3+: 3d43d^43d4 rightarrow unpaired electrons present.
  • Therefore, Mn3O4Mn_3O_4Mn3​O4​ shows magnetic property.

Option D: Na2ONa_2ONa2​O

  • Sodium in Na2ONa_2ONa2​O is Na+Na^+Na+.
  • Electronic configuration of Na+Na^+Na+ is [Ne][Ne][Ne].
  • No unpaired electrons rightarrow diamagnetic.
  1. Conclusion

Among the given oxides, only Mn3O4Mn_3O_4Mn3​O4​ contains transition metal ions with unpaired electrons, so it shows magnetic property.

Option C: Mn3O4\boxed{\text{Option C: } Mn_3O_4}Option C: Mn3​O4​​

  1. Comparison with stored correct answer
  • Derived answer: CCC
  • Stored correct answer: CCC
  • Therefore, they agree.
