Kuphephe ukudibana nomoya ofumayo, kwaye uthintele ukudibana ne-acids, alkalis, halogens, phosphorus, kunye namanzi.
I-soluble in dilute acid, i-manganese iphendula ngamanzi emanzini, kwaye inokusabela nge-halogen, isulfure, i-phosphorus, i-carbon kunye ne-silicon.
Ngexesha lokunyibilika, umphunga wemanganese wenza iioksidi ezineoksijini emoyeni.
Kukho iintlobo ezimbini zetyhubhu kunye nequadrangle, kwaye inesakhiwo sekristale esiyinkimbinkimbi.
I-electrolytic metal manganese iqulethe ngokubanzi ngaphezu kwe-99.7% ye-manganese. I-electrolytic manganese esulungekileyo ayinakusetyenzwa. Iba yi-alloy edibeneyo emva kokongeza i-1% ye-nickel.
