The oxidation number of manganese in KMnO4 is 7+.
-2 for each O, +7 for Mn
In the anions of oxyacids, oxygen is always assigned an oxidation number of -2. Therefore, in an MnO4-1 anion, manganese must have an oxidation number of +7 to achieve electrical balance for the anion. (There is no neutral compound with the formula MnO4.)
K has an oxidation number of +1 O has an oxidation number of (-2) x 4 So... the oxidation number for Mn is whatever is needed to make 1-8 equal to zero. Therefore, the oxidation number for Mn is +7
MnO4- is the chemical formula for permanganate. The charge is generally -1.
The oxidation number determines how much an element is oxidated, so the oxidation number of...1. elements is always 0.2. of simple ions is always the charge, e.g. in Cu2+ the oxidation number of copper is +2.3. hydrogen is usually +1, oxygen usually -2, alkali metals +1, etc.In molecules without a charge, the sum of the oxidation numbers has to be 0. This way you can calculate the oxidation number of its compounds. For example in KMnO4, the oxidation number of oxygen is -2, of K is +1, so if the sum is zero then the oxidation number of Mn has to be +7.In complex ions (OH-, MnO4-, ...) the sum of the oxidation numbers has to be the charge of the ion. (so in OH- and MnO4- it's -1).
O.S. of Mn = +7 O.S. of O = -2 O.N. of cpd = -1

Permanganate Symbol is MnO4- Valency of the ion is -1, the manganese is +7 and the oxygen -2. Potassium Permanganate symbol is KMnO4.

There is no oxidation number because oxidation number only applies to compounds with oxygen like MnO4 2- in which Mn has an oxidation number of 6
The oxidation number for 'O2' is zero(0). However, when calculating oxidation numbers in compounds containing oxygen, then the oxygen is used as a standard at '-2'. So as an example using potassium permanganate (KMnO4), what is the oxidation number of manganese (Mn). In solution this dissolves producing the permanganate ion (MnO4^(-). Note the charge on the ion is '-1'. Since there are 4 oxygens present , then the oxidation of the oxygen moiety is 4 X -2 = -8 . So creating a little sum Mn + -8(oxygen moiety) = -1 (overall charge on the ion). Mn + -8 = -1 Add '8' to both sides Mn = (+)7 is the oxidation number of manganese. So the formula could be written as KMn(VII)O4 . (Note the Roman numerals for oxidation number).
1 K ( Potassium ) 1 Mn (Manganese) 4 O ( Oxygen ) This is an ionic compound consisting of a +1 potassium cation and a -1 permanganate (polyatomic) anion (MnO4) When this dissociates in water, the K separates from the permanganate, but the permanganate stays together as MnO4
+7
Chromium (III) has a 3+ charge. Permanganate (MnO4-) Has a 1- charge. Therefore it takes 3 Permanganate anions to equal the charge of a Chromium (III) cation. This should be Cr(MnO4)3
The oxidation number of manganese depends on the particular compound in which manganese is present. The most common oxidation states are +2 as in MnCl2, + 4 as in MnO2, and + 7 as in potassium permanganate, KMnO4.
