Pewani kukhudzana ndi mpweya wonyowa, ndikuletsa kukhudzana ndi zidulo, alkalis, halogens, phosphorous, ndi madzi.
Kusungunuka mu asidi wosungunuka, manganese amachitira ndi madzi m'madzi, ndipo amatha kuchitapo kanthu ndi halogen, sulfure, phosphorous, carbon ndi silicon.
Pakusungunuka, nthunzi ya manganese imapanga ma oxides okhala ndi okosijeni mumlengalenga.
Pali mitundu iwiri ya cube ndi quadrangle, ndipo imakhala ndi mawonekedwe a kristalo ovuta.
Electrolytic metal manganese nthawi zambiri imakhala ndi manganese opitilira 99.7%. Manganese oyera a electrolytic sangathe kukonzedwa. Amakhala aloyi wopangidwa atawonjezera 1% ya faifi tambala.
