You should "google" such questions!!
If it is a neutral atom there are as many negative electrons as positive protons.
So which element has 58 protons ?

And how many protons are there in Mn (55) ?
Note that this "55" means protons and neutrons (the way to differentiate between isotopes), so look for Mn and not for 55!!
