All atoms have an atomic number. But what is the chemical element that has 25 as atomic number?
The answer is Manganese and there is so much cool stuff about Manganese that people don't know that I would keep reading if I were you.
Alright now to the facts!

Manganese Overview
Description
Hard, brittle, gray-white metal with a pinkish tinge. Rusts like iron in moist air.
Atomic Symbol
Mn (Manganese)
Discovery
Discovered By: Johann Gahn
Year: 1774
Location: Sweden

State at 20 °C
Solid
Sources
Most abundant ores are pyrolusite (MnO2), psilomelane [(Ba,H2O)2Mn5O10] and rhodochrosite (MnCO3). Pure metal produced by mixing MnO2 with powered Al and ignited in a furnace.
