Why Mn has an exceptionally low melting point?

Answers (1)

Manganese has 5 electrons in its d-orbital. This is a half-filled stable configuration. Hence these electrons are not free to participate in metallic bonding. Manganese has less heat of atomization and hence its melting point is also low.
