Best Answer

Since O is 2- in valency and there are 2 O in MnO2, the O2 component represents a total valency of 4- (2 x 2 = 4). For MnO2 to be electrically neutral in this format, Mn must have a valency of 4+.

Manganese has the structure [Ar]4s23d5 and so the valence electrons in the valence shell are 4s23d5
