Etymology

Description

It is a blue-white metal element. It occurs naturally in many compounds. Five stable isotopes and six radioactive isotopes have been found. It is a chemically reactive metal and combines with oxygen and other nonmetals. It reacts with dilute acids and releases oxygen.

Language Of Origin

German

Origin Of Word

From the German word Zink

Meaning

cone, cone

Etymological Description

It comes from the word Zink (=cone, cone), related to the German word Zinken, meaning "point, point". It was most likely given this name in reference to the pointed crystals on it. It may derive from Old Persian.

Production & Use

Sources

It is found in minerals such as sphalerite (ZnS), calamine, franklinite, smithsonite (ZnCO3), villemite and zincite (ZnO).

Uses

It is used to coat (galvanize) other metals to prevent them from rusting. It is also used in alloys such as brass, bronze and nickel. It is also used in solder, cosmetic products and pigments.
