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.
