Coefficient of Thermal Expansion of Manganese (Mn) & Facts, Color, Uses ... 2022

Size of things changes depending on the coefficient of thermal expansion. It's even the case for Manganese. Ok, so what is the coefficient of thermal expansion for an atom of Mn?

Note: Learn more about the coefficient of thermal expansion here.

In the case of Manganese this thermal coefficient is 21.7 10^-6 K^-1. By the way, did you know there are cool facts about Manganese that most don't know? Check this...
