Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Stock system name for a compound is determined based on the oxidation state of the element present in the compound. Here, the compound contains Mn, and the numerical prefixes indicate the oxidation state of Mn in the compound. The "S1" indicates +7 oxidation state, and "S1" indicates +2 oxidation state. Hence, Mn in this compound has an oxidation state of +7 and +2. The correct way to represent this compound as per the Stock system is by indicating the oxidation state of Mn individually with the respective numerical prefixes, as Mn7+O12Mn2+O17Mn2+O. Hence, the correct name is Manganese(VII)oxide [Option C].
