In this case, according to the given information about the oxidation numbers anf the compounds given, it turns out possible to figure out the oxidation number of manganese in both MnI2, manganese (II) iodide and MnO2, manganese (IV) oxide, by using the concept of charge balance.
Thus, we can define the oxidation state of iodine and oxygen as -1 and -2, respectively, since the former needs one electron to complete the octet and the latter, two of them.
Next, we can write the following 
, since manganese has five oxidation states, and it is necessary to calculate the appropriate ones:
Next, we multiply each anion's oxidation number by the subscript, to obtain the following:
Thus, the correct choice is Manganese has an oxidation number of +2 in Mnl2 and +4 in MnO2.

Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
If Mg + 2HCI is Blanced then MgCI2 + H2 is also Blanced . So yes
I think the answer is 26,88 liters
The postulates of Dalton's theory were:
1) Elements are made of extremely small particles called atoms
2) <span>Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass, and other properties
</span>3) <span>Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed</span>
4) Atoms combine in whole number ratio to form compounds
5) Chemical reactions are the rearrangement of atoms
The third postulate has been disproved by modern science, in which the atom has been split and been subdivided into smaller parts such as the neutron, proton and electron, which are further subdivided into quarks, gluons, and kaons.
The second postulate was also disproved upon the discovery of isotopes.
