    Manganese (Mn) belongs to the transition metal series in the periodic table with an atomic number = 25

    The electron configuration for Mn is:

    1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶ 4s² 3d⁵

    The total number of 's' electrons = (1s, 2s, 3s, 4s) = 8

    Total number of 'p' electrons = (2p, 3p) = 12

    (If one only considers the valence/outer electron configuration of Mn:

    4s²3d⁵

    then, number of s electrons = 2

    number of p electrons = 0)
