You work in the special effects department of a movie studio. You are currently working on a superhero movie where the hero is very strong
and can punch through metal. For the next scene you need to replace a
6 inch by 6 inch square of a metal wall with a different material that will
crumble when the actor hits it. What could you use?

A. You could use Carbon(C)
B. You could use Potassium (k)
C. You could use Titanium (T)
D. You could use Manganese (Mn)

The correct option is;

D. Manganese (Mn)

Explanation:

Manganese is very brittle, hard, iron like silvery-gray metal, that is difficult to melt. In air, Manganese slowly disintegrate in a similar manner to iron rusting in water

Manganese and iron have similar chemical and physical properties however manganese is more harder and more brittle than iron

A brittle material is one that easily breaks without deforming elastically

Therefore, manganese, due to its very iron like appearance and brittle nature will be suitable to replace the metal wall and crumble easily when the actor hits it.
