Explanation: The metallic manganese on earth is rated as the 12th most abundant element in the lithosphere, estimated around 28.46 x tonnes or so i.e., 0.1087% by proportion of weight. Thus it almost becomes a scarce one, so far as its deposits are concerned. Industrially manganese metal is a vital component of steel and its major use is for metallurgical purpose.
