The correct IUPAC name of K 2 MnO 4 is:

The correct IUPAC name of K2MnO4 is: 

  1.  Potassium tetraoxopermanganate (VI) 
  2. Potassium tetraoxidomanganate (VI) 
  3.  Dipotassium tetraoxidomanganate (VII) 
  4. Potassium tetraoxidomanganese (VI) 

Solution

The structure of the IUPAC name is 

name of cationic part + Name of anionic part.

Metal present in the anionic complex, so 'ate', must be added at the end of the metal name. 

Oxidation state of Mn

Mn+4-2=-2                   =+6

The structure of anionic complex name is

ligand names + metal name(oxidation state)

K2MnO4

2+x8=0

x=+6

Oxidation state of Mn=+6

IUPAC Name is:

Potassium tetraoxidomanganate VI
