Manganese is a hard and brittle element that belongs to Group 7 and Period 4 of the periodic table. It exhibits five allotropic forms, with the alpha form being stable at normal temperatures. This transition metal possesses an intermediate electronegativity and is typically found in nature in its divalent state, although it can exist in oxidation states from -3 to +7, with the +2 and +4 states being the most common.
Manganese readily forms compounds with sulfur, phosphorus, carbon, and silicon. It is also important to note that the element reacts with water, albeit slowly, and dissolves in dilute acids, making it amenable to various chemical manipulations.
When alloyed with other metals such as aluminum and copper, Manganese can enhance their strength and resistance to corrosion, making it an essential component in the manufacturing of numerous consumer products.
