$Mn _{2} O _{7}$ dissolves in water to give permanganic acid which is purple in colour. $Mn _{2} O _{7}+ H _{2} O \longrightarrow \underset{\text { Purple }}{2 HMn O _{4}}$
P block elements are those in which the last electron enters any of the three p-orbitals of their respective shells. Since a p-subshell has three degenerate p-orbitals each of which can accommodate two electrons, therefore in all there are six groups of p-block elements.
P block elements are shiny and usually a good conductor of electricity and heat as they have a tendency to lose an electron. You will find some amazing properties of elements in a P-block element like gallium. It’s a metal that can melt in the palm of your hand. Silicon is also one of the most important metalloids of the p-block group as it is an important component of glass.
