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 x, since manganese has five oxidation states, and it is necessary to calculate the appropriate ones:

Mn^xI_2^-\\\\Mn ^xO_2^{-2}

Next, we multiply each anion's oxidation number by the subscript, to obtain the following:

Mn^xI_2^-\rightarrow x-2=0;x=+2\\\\Mn ^xO_2^{-2}\rightarrow x-4=0;x=+4

Thus, the correct choice is Manganese has an oxidation number of +2 in Mnl2 and +4 in MnO2.

PLEASE HELP ME! What are some patterns or trends that are present in the table of elements?
Sati [7]

Some patterns and trend that are present in the periodic table would be

1. electronegativity (from left-to-right it increases across the table)

2. ionization (from left-to right it increases and from bottom-to-top it increases)

3. electron affinity (same as ionization energy)

4. atom radius (increases opposite way; from right-to-left it increases and from top-to-bottom it increases)

5. melting point (higher melting points with metals and lower melting point with non-metals)

6. metallic character (same as atom radius)
