Verified by ExpertsA
Analyzing each statement:
Statement A: In 
, using oxidation state calculation: 
, so Mn oxidation state 
. This is indeed the highest oxidation state for Mn. TRUE.
Statement B: Oxygen stabilizes Mn in +7 oxidation state through multiple bonding ( 
double bonds and bridging), reducing electron density effectively. TRUE.
Statement C: 
is primarily a covalent oxide with significant 
covalent bonding character. The oxide is not ionic in nature. FALSE.
Statement D: The structure of 
contains bridged oxygen atoms ( 
linkages) along with terminal 
bonds. TRUE.
Statements A, B, and D are correct while C is incorrect. The answer is option : A, B and D Only.
