That element is manganese. As they are in same horizontal row (period) and are next to each other. That is why they show same properties.
Hope this helps xox :)
Answer:
The elements in same period have same principle quantum number or energy shell.
The elements in same group shows similar chemical and properties.
Explanation:
Inn group:
The elements in same group i.e present in vertical column shows similar chemical properties.
The elements in same group having same number of valance electrons. while in chemical reaction bonds are break and formed and valance electrons are involved. That's why elements in same group having same number of valance electrons and shows similar chemical properties.
In period:
While as we move from left to right the number of valance electron increase by one in every element. But the electron is added in same shell which means that their physical and chemical properties are different but principal quantum number is same.
Solving part-1 only
#1
KMnO_4
- Transition metal is Manganese (Mn)
#2
Actually it's the oxidation number of Mn
Let's find how?




- x is the oxidation number
#3
- Purple as per the color of potassium permanganate
#4

Elements which appear in the same column have similar properties (periodicity). For example, all of the elements in group XVII (17), the Halogens, all react in a similar fashion; they all like to attract one additional electron and form a -1 anion.
