Manganese dioxide, which is abundant in nature, has long been used as a pigment. The cave paintings in Gargas that are 30,000 to 24,000 years old are made from the mineral form of MnO 2 pigments. [43] Manganese compounds were used by Egyptian and Roman glassmakers, either to add to, or remove, color from glass. [44]
A synthetic element is one of 24 known chemical elements that do not occur naturally on Earth: they have been created by human manipulation of fundamental particles in a nuclear reactor, a particle accelerator, or the explosion of an atomic bomb; thus, they are called "synthetic", "artificial", or "man-made". The synthetic elements are those ...
Manganese layers typically form at higher redox potentials compared to iron layers, but a period of rapid increase in redox potential can form a mixed layer. [2] As the nodules are formed, trace elements including but not limited to nickel, cobalt, copper, and zinc are incorporated. [ 2 ]
The chemical chameleon reaction shows the process in reverse, by reducing violet potassium permanganate first to green potassium manganate and eventually to brown manganese dioxide: [1] [2] [5] KMnO 4 (violet) → K 2 MnO 4 (green) → MnO 2 (brown/yellow suspension) Blue potassium hypomanganate may also form as an intermediate.

These form where hydrogen-rich fluids emerge from below the sea floor, as a result of serpentinization of ultra-mafic olivine with seawater and a pH interface with carbon dioxide-rich ocean water. The vents form a sustained chemical energy source derived from redox reactions, in which electron donors (molecular hydrogen) react with electron ...
Manganese precipitates in soils in the form of manganese-iron oxide minerals, which promote nutrient and organic matter accumulation due to their high surface area. Manganese is the tenth most abundant metal in the Earth's crust, making up approximately 0.1% of the total composition, or about 0.019 mol kg −1 , which is found mostly in the ...
Flippers and oars help divers and boat riders to change their direction in water which improves efficiency with less oxygen consumption. Image credits: Mohammad Niaz #26 Solar Panels
Organomanganese chemistry is the chemistry of organometallic compounds containing a carbon to manganese chemical bond.In a 2009 review, Cahiez et al. argued that as manganese is cheap and benign (only iron performs better in these aspects), organomanganese compounds have potential as chemical reagents, although currently they are not widely used as such despite extensive research.
