is highly positive than that of 
or 
because
A
can be easily oxidized to 
due to low ionization enthalpy.
B
Third ionization enthalpy of Mn is much larger due to stable half filled 
electronic configuration of 
electronic configuration of
C
is more stable than 
due to higher oxidation state
D
Second ionization enthalpy of Mn is higher than thired ionization enthalpy
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
The third ionization energy of Mn required to change 
to 
is much larger due to stable half filled 
electronic configuration.
