The Frost diagram for manganese at pH 0.

A Frost diagram is a graphical representation of the relative stability of different oxidation states of an element: specifically a plot of the Gibbs free energy of formation of different species in or from aqueous solution against oxidation number. Such diagrams were first introduced by American chemist Arthur A. Frost.[1]
