![]() MAN-GA-NESE
Welcome to the middle of the periodic table. These elements, including manganese and iron, top off the center columns of the transition elements. While manganese and iron are similar, manganese is a grayish-white color when it has been purified. If you continue to look at the physical traits of the element, you will also discover manganese to be more brittle. As a pure element, iron is better suited to industrial needs but manganese is still used in many alloys. Manganese is found everywhere. You might find it as an element in your body or in an alloy. It is even found in nodules at the bottom of the ocean.
