     Why are Mn2+ compounds more stable than Fe2+  towards oxidation to their +3 state ?

    Answer:

    E.C. of Mn2+ [18Ar] 3d5 (Stable configuration) E.C. of Fe2+; [18Ar] 3d6. Since Mn2+ has stable half filled electronic configuration, therefore Mn2+ compounds are more stable than Fe2+ towards oxidation to their +3 state. Fe2+(3d6) can lose one electron easily to give Fe3+(3d5, stable configuration).
