How does Messi keep the ball close to himself

He's in my opinion the best player in the sense that he can control the ball so well, runs so fast with the ball & changes the direction at full speed like it's a walk in the park. For starters he started playing very early (at 3) which is crucial if you want to be a good player. In that aspect, he's God gifted as he had dribble skills which is genetic in my opinion. Height He is short which means a low center of gravity so it's difficult to push him off the ball. That's why we see that anyone rarely can topple him down, instead players much larger than him lose possession to him. So his short height suits his style of play & is a blessing in disguise. Change of pace Messi changes his pace really well. He starts slow and runs directly at the defender which means the defender has to stop & focus on him. When he reac...

Introduction

  • Manganese is a chemical element that usually found in combination with the iron.

  • The symbol of manganese is ‘Mn’ and atomic number is ’25.’

  • Manganese is a metal very important for the industrial use.

Manganese

  • In 1774, Johan Gottlieb Gahn, first time isolated an impure sample of manganese metal in 1774.

Features of Manganese

  • Following are the major features and characteristics of manganese −

    • Similar to iron, manganese is silvery-gray metal.

    • Manganese can be oxidized easily, but very difficult to fuse it, as it is very hard and brittle.

    • In air, manganese gets tarnished slowly (oxidization).

    • Manganese is an element, which is part of the iron group.

Occurrence of Manganese

  • Manganese is the 12th most abundant element of the earth’s crust.

  • Soil usually contains about 7–9000 ppm of manganese with an average of 440 ppm.

  • Seawater has only about 10 ppm manganese; whereas, the atmosphere contains about 0.01 µg/m3.

  • Pyrolusite (MnO2) is the most important ore of manganese.

Compounds of Manganese

  • Following are the major compounds of manganese −

    • Manganese (II) oxide -MnO

    • Manganese (I) oxide -Mn2O3

    • Manganese dioxide -MnO2

    • Manganese chloride -MnCl2

    • Potassium permanganate -KMnO4

    • Manganese (II) sulfate -MnSO4

    • Manganese (II) carbonate -MnCO3

    • Manganese (II) sulfide -MnS

    • Manganese (II) nitrate -Mn(NO3)2

    • Manganese (II) bromide -MnBr2

    • Manganese heptoxide -Mn2O7

    • Dimanganese decacarbonyl -C10O10Mn2

    • Manganese (II) iodide -MnI2

    • Manganese (II) fluoride -MnF2

Uses of Manganese

  • Following are the major uses of manganese −

    • Manganese is one of the most essential constituents of steel production.

    • Manganese phosphating is commonly used for the rust and corrosion prevention on steel.

    • In biology, manganese(II) ions act as cofactors for the large variety of enzymes.

    • Manganese is also important in the oxygen-evolving phenomenon of photosynthetic plants.

    • Manganese dioxide is also used in the manufacture of oxygen and chlorine and in drying black paints.

    Does manganese have any application in physics?

Elon musk new mission in helping nature

Your friend
SpaceX is embarking on a bold new adventure: making rocket fuel out of thin air. "SpaceX is starting a program to take CO2 out of atmosphere & turn it into rocket fuel," CEO Elon Musk tweeted on Monday. "Please join if interested." Such a process — using in-situ resources to generate fuel — could have great implications during our transition to becoming interplanetary, according to Musk. "Will also be important for Mars," he added in a follow-up tweet. Carbon Appetit It's particularly a pertinent topic for SpaceX's operations, given that its workhorse Falcon 9 rocket emits plenty of CO2 when it launches. And it's not quite as far fetched as it sounds. Using a new technique called "direct air capture" (DAC), SpaceX could suck in thousands of tons of carbon dioxide to turn it into a source of fuel, Bloomberg reports. Iceland recently started operations at the world's largest DAC plant, sucking up to 4,400 tons of CO2...
