<span>The problem has to do with oxidation states of the matter. The oxidation state of oxygen will always be -2 with the exception of peroxides which will have a state of -1. The overall balanced state of chemical compounds will be 0, so the oxidation state of Mn in MnO2 will be +4. The oxidation state of MnO4- will then be +7 to balance out to the negative one charge. The state change from +4 to +7 is 3, thus three electrons have to be lost in order for this to happen; a loss of a charge of -3 results in an increase of charge of 3. Oxidation is always the process of 'losing' electrons.

The atomic number of Fluorine is 9
Valence (outer) electron configuration is : 2s²2p⁵
Therefore, it requires 1 electron in the p-orbital to complete its octet of 8 electrons.
Thus, the atom Fluorine generally will become <u>more </u>stable through the formation of an ionic chemical compound by accepting <u>1 </u> electron from another atom. This process will fill its outer energy level.
Ans: A) more, 1
