Answer 1

The compounds MnS, MnN, MnBrz, MnI, MnP2, and MnO have the cation as manganese(II) and the compounds Mno and Manganese(l) have the cation as manganese(III).

Step-by-step explanation:

When sorting the following manganese compounds by the oxidation state of the cation, we will have:

• 
  
• MnSs - Manganese(II)
• 
  
• MnN - Manganese(II)
• 
  
• MnBrz - Manganese(II/III)
• 
  
• MnI - Manganese(I)
• 
  
• MnP2 - Manganese(II)
• 
  
• MnO - Manganese(II)
• 
  
• MnO2 - Manganese(IV)

So, the compounds MnS, MnN, MnBrz, MnI, MnP2, and MnO have the cation as manganese(II) and the compounds Mno and Manganese(l) have the cation as manganese(III).
