Manganese chemical properties

As a general rule, elements in the second and third transition series have similar chemical properties. In contrast, the properties of the first member of the series are often different. This pattern of behavior is seen in Group 7 (VIIB). The properties of rhenium and technetium differ considerably from those of manganese. 

Chemical Properties. On thermal decomposition, both sodium and potassium chlorate salts produce the corresponding perchlorate, salt, and oxygen (32). Mixtures of potassium chlorate and metal oxide catalysts, especially manganese dioxide [1313-13-9] Mn02, are employed as a laboratory... 

Chemical Properties. Potassium cyanide is readily oxidized to potassium cyanate [590-28-3] by heating in the presence of oxygen or easily reduced oxides, such as those of lead or tin or manganese dioxide, and in aqueous solution by reaction with hypochlorites or hydrogen peroxide. 

Applications to the study of the chemical properties of the compounds concerned have been only little explored, and to date the work has essentially just begun with a couple of reports on manganese compounds. Potential... 

The discovery of the elements 43 and 75 was reported by Noddack et al. in 1925, just seventy years ago. Although the presence of the element 75, rhenium, was confirmed later, the element 43, masurium, as they named it, could not be extracted from naturally occurring minerals. However, in the cyclotron-irradiated molybdenum deflector, Perrier and Segre found radioactivity ascribed to the element 43. This discovery in 1937 was established firmly on the basis of its chemical properties which were expected from the position between manganese and rhenium in the periodic table. However, ten years later in 1937, the new element was named technetium as the first artificially made element. 

In the preparation of microporous manganese oxide materials different chemical properties were observed for the microwave and thermal preparations. In the conversion of ethylbenzene to styrene the activity and selectivity of the materials was different [26]. 

Manganese is reactive when pure, it burns in 02 it dissolves in dilute acids. Roughly similar to iron in several physical and chemical properties, but harder, more brittle and less refractory. At elevated temperatures it reacts violently with several non-metals. The Mn11 is the most stable state, readily oxidized in alkaline solutions. The highest oxidation state is VII (corresponding to the total number of 3d and 45 electrons). 

Many compounds of technetium and rhenium are of analogous composition and of corresponding physical and chemical properties. Because of the very similar ionic radii, isotypic crystal structure formation of analogous compounds could often be observed. Technetium remarkably differs from manganese by the high stability of pertechnetate compared with permanganate. Moreover, divalent technetium does not exist as a hydrated ion but only as a stabilized complex. 

As the central member of the triad of metals in group 7, technetium (period 5) has similar physical and chemical properties as its partners manganese (period 4) above it and rhenium (period 6) below it. The sizes of their atomic radii do not vary greatly Mn = 127, Tc = 136, and Re = 137. Neither does their level of electronegativity vary significantly Mn = 1.5, Tc =... 

Many chemical properties of manganese are similar to iron. Manganese burns in air or oxygen at elevated temperatures forming trimanganese tetrox-ide ... 

Common chemical properties The alkali metals are so chemically reactive that they are never found free in nature. Sodium and potassium react explosively with water to produce hydrogen gas. The alkaline earth metals are not quite as reactive as the alkali metals. The alkali metals react with water but not explosively. The transition metals are generally the least reactive of all the metals. However, when they combine with other elements, they form a large variety of colored compounds. Chromium oxide is green, titanium oxide and zinc oxide are white, manganese oxide is purple, and iron oxide is ochre.

Crystal field theory is one of several chemical bonding models and one that is applicable solely to the transition metal and lanthanide elements. The theory, which utilizes thermodynamic data obtained from absorption bands in the visible and near-infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, has met with widespread applications and successful interpretations of diverse physical and chemical properties of elements of the first transition series. These elements comprise scandium, titanium, vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel and copper. The position of the first transition series in the periodic table is shown in fig. 1.1. Transition elements constitute almost forty weight per cent, or eighteen atom per cent, of the Earth (Appendix 1) and occur in most minerals in the Crust, Mantle and Core. As a result, there are many aspects of transition metal geochemistry that are amenable to interpretation by crystal field theory.

Manganese is roughly similar to Fe in its physical and chemical properties, the chief difference being that it is harder and more brittle but less refractory (mp 1247°C). It is quite electropositive and readily dissolves in dilute, non-oxidizing acids, e.g., trifluoroacetic acid gives Mn(CF3C02)2.1... 

Iron, cobalt, and nickel, with atomic numbers 26, 27, and 28, lie in the center of the first long period, and are described, with their congeners, the platinum metals, as group VIII of the periodic table. They show a. trend in their chemical properties, forming a transition from the metals chromium and manganese, which may assume several oxidation states, and whose higher oxides are acidic, to the more basic and less chemically versatile metals copper and zinc. 

Manganese exists in four allotropic forms. Allotropes are forms of an element with different physical and chemical properties. The element changes from one form to another as the temperature rises. The form that exists from room temperature up to about 1,300°F (700°C) is the most common form.
