The oxidation number of oxygen is typically -2. Since there are four oxygen atoms in MnO4^-, the total oxidation number contributed by oxygen is -8.
The overall charge of the ion is -1. Therefore, the oxidation number of Mn can be calculated as follows:
Mn + (-8) = -1
Mn = +7
Therefore, the oxidation number of Mn in MnO4^- is +7.
