Gwema ukuthintana nomoya onomswakama, futhi uvimbele ukuthintana nama-acids, ama-alkali, ama-halogen, i-phosphorus, namanzi.
Incibilika ku-asidi e-dilute, i-manganese ihlangana namanzi emanzini, futhi ingasabela nge-halogen, isulfure, i-phosphorus, i-carbon ne-silicon.
Ngesikhathi sokuncibilika, umhwamuko we-manganese wenza ama-oxides anomoya-mpilo emoyeni.
Kunezinhlobo ezimbili ze-cube ne-quadrangle, futhi inesakhiwo sekristalu esiyinkimbinkimbi.
I-electrolytic metal manganese ngokuvamile iqukethe ngaphezu kuka-99.7% we-manganese. I-electrolytic manganese ehlanzekile ayikwazi ukucutshungulwa. Iba i-alloy eyenziwe ngemuva kokwengeza i-1% ye-nickel.
