Question
Write note on oxides and oxoanions of $3d$ transition metals.

Answer

$\rightarrow$ The ability of oxygen to stabilize the high oxidation states of metal than fluorine is higher because it forms a multiple bonds with a metal.
$\rightarrow$ The metal oxide in lower oxidation state is basic while in higher oxidation state are acidic.
$\rightarrow$ The metal oxides having metals in intermediate oxidation states are amphoteric.
e.g.
Acidic
oxide
Basic
oxide
Amphoteric
oxide
$\ce{Mn_2O_7}$ $\ce{MnO}$ $\ce{Mn_3O_4, Mn_2O_3, MnO_2}$
  $CrO$ $\ce{Cr_2 O_3}$

* mixed oxides
$\rightarrow$ In the covalent oxide $\ce{Mn_2O_7}$, each Mn is tetrahedrally surrounded by $O$ 's including a $\ce{Mn - O - Mn}$ bridge. The tetrahedral $\left[ \ce{MO _4}\right]^{ n -}$ ions are known for $\ce{V ^{ V }, Cr ^{ VI }, Mn ^{ V }, Mn ^{ VI }}$ and $\ce{Mn ^{ VII }}$.
