Manganese ore characteristics

Hello sir I am making project report on characteristics of Manganese ore so please provide me complete details of this element and its characteristic.

[Pathak]

Manganese is a chemical element, designated by the symbol Mn. It has the atomic number 25. It is found as a free element in nature (often in combination with iron), and in many minerals.

Properties of Manganese ore

Manganese is a pinkinsh-gray, chemically active element.

It is a hard metal and is very brittle.

It is hard to melt, but easily oxidized.

Manganese is reactive when pure, and as a powder it will burn in oxygen, it reacts with water (it rusts like iron) and dissolves in dilute acids.

Characteristics

Physical properties

Manganese is a silvery-gray metal resembling iron. It is hard and very brittle, difficult to fuse, but easy to oxidize.

Manganese metal and its common ions are paramagnetic.

Chemical properties

The most common oxidation states of manganese are +2, +3, +4, +6 and +7, though oxidation states from −3 to +7 are observed
