Atomic Symbol 25 (& Cool facts: Uses, Sources, Color and more...) 2022

Every atom has a symbol and some are easy to figure out. Especially if you already know its name.

But what do you do when you only know its atomic number? Like... what is the atom symbol whose atomic number is 25?

The answer is Manganese (Mn). However there are a lot of interesting facts about Manganese that people don't know. Let me show you:
