Potassium manganate when [] < 1M, follows bimolecular kinetics. See for a list. Potassium manganate Potassium manganate is the inorganic compound with the formula KMnO. This green-colored salt is an intermediate in the industrial synthesis of potassium permanganate (KMnO), a common chemical. Occasionally, potassium manganate and potassium "per"manganate are confused, but they are different compounds with distinctly different properties. KMnO is a salt, consisting of K cations and MnO anions. X-ray crystallography shows that the anion is tetrahedral, with Mn-O distances of 1.66 Å, ca. 0.03 Å longer than the Mn-O distances in KMnO. It is isostructural with potassium sulfate. The industrial
Chemical element than the current estimated age of the universe, bismuth-209 has the longest known alpha decay half-life of any naturally occurring element. The very heaviest 24 elements (those beyond plutonium, element 94) undergo radioactive decay with short half-lives and cannot be produced as daughters of longer-lived elements, and thus they do not occur in nature at all. The properties of the chemical elements are often summarized using the periodic table, which powerfully and elegantly organizes the elements by increasing atomic number into rows ("periods") in which the columns ("groups") share recurring ("periodic") physical and chemical properties. The current standard table contains
