The ability of oxygen to stabilise high oxidation states exceeds that of fluorine. Thus, the highest fluoride with Mn is MnF 4, whereas the highest oxide is Mn 2 O 7. Also, it is hard to accommodate 7 fluorine atoms around Mn.

The ability of oxygen to stabilise high oxidation states exceeds that of fluorine. Thus, the highest fluoride with Mn is MnF4​, whereas the highest oxide is Mn2​O7​. Also, it is hard to accommodate 7 fluorine atoms around Mn.

The ability of oxygen to stabilise high oxidation states exceeds that of fluorine. Thus, the highest fluoride with $M n$ is $M n F_{4}$ , whereas the highest oxide is $M n_{2} O_{7}$ . Also, it is hard to accommodate 7 fluorine atoms around $M n$ .
