Mandala #25 — Manganese (Mn, element 25). Dendritic fractal crystal growth in deep magenta-violet permanganate — the intense oxidizing beauty of KMnO₄.

Mandala #25 — Mn: Manganeso (Manganese)

Element 25 · Mn · Manganeso
Deep magenta-violet permanganate
The oxidizer with striking violet permanganate — hard and brittle, essential for steel, and for photosynthesis.

Potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) is an intense violet oxidizing agent used as a disinfectant and in chemical synthesis. Manganese dioxide in batteries provides oxidizing power. Four manganese atoms in photosystem II split water molecules in photosynthesis, releasing oxygen.
