Manganese Oxidation States
Manganese Oxidation States
This Demonstration shows the colors and absorption spectra of the six most common oxidation states (2 to 7) of the element manganese. When you select an oxidation state, an arrow points to the “petri dish” containing an aqueous solution of a compound in this oxidation state, appropriately colored. Absorption spectra for these compounds are shown in the upper-right panel.
