Manganese, a hard, brittle transition metal with a silvery-gray appearance, consists of 25 protons, 30 neutrons, and 25 electrons.
Manganese protons
- Protons = atomic number
From the periodic table, find the atomic number of manganese.
The atomic number of manganese is 25. Hence, manganese has a total of 25 protons.
Manganese neutrons
- Neutrons = atomic mass – atomic number
The atomic mass of manganese is 54.938044, so we’ll take the roundup value as 55. And the atomic number of manganese is 25.
Subtract the atomic number (25) from the atomic mass (55). Hence, manganese has a total of 55 – 25 = 30 neutrons.
Manganese electrons
- Electrons = atomic number
The atomic number of manganese is 25. Hence, manganese has a total of 25 electrons.
