Zinc

About Zinc (Zn)

Symbol: Zn
Atomic number: 30
Atomic weight: 65.38
Element category: transition metal; alternatively designated as a post‐transition metal
Zinc is a silvery‐white, brittle metal. It reacts readily and may oxidise or combine with various non‐metals.
The majority of zinc is used for galvanising other metals (e.g. iron, steel) to provide corrosion protection. Other applications include batteries, small non‐structural cast parts and alloys such as brass or bronze.
Zinc also forms a variety of compounds that are widely used in industry. Zinc oxide is frequently used as a semiconductor material, catalyst and white pigment in paints, among other uses.
