Ionic Radius of Manganese (Mn) [& Discovery, Color, Uses ... 2022

All atom's ions have an ionic radius, even Manganese. Ok so what is the ionic radius of a Manganese ion?

In the case of Manganese the ionic radius is .67 (+2) Å. Speaking of Manganese, let me walk you through some interesting details...

Manganese Facts

Manganese Ionic Radius

.67 (+2) Å

Discovery

Discovered By: Johann Gahn
Year: 1774
Location: Sweden

Atomic Mass

54,93805

Learn more about the atomic mass.

Uses

Used in steel, batteries and ceramics. The steel in railroad tracks can contain as much as 1.2% manganese. It is crucial to the effectiveness of vitamin B1.

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.

Description

Hard, brittle, gray-white metal with a pinkish tinge. Rusts like iron in moist air.

Atomic Symbol

Mn

Name Origin

Latin: magnes (magnet); Italian: manganese.

State at 20 °C

Solid

Atomic Number

25
