- Zinc is Atomic Element No. 30 on the periodic table of elements.
- Zinc is a silvery blue-grey metal with a relatively low melting point (419.5°C) and boiling point (907°C).
- When unalloyed, its strength and hardness is greater than that of tin or lead, but appreciably less than that of aluminum or copper.
- A major application of zinc is as an alloying addition to copper, forming the range of brasses.
- By varying the proportion of zinc, copper alloys can be produced with a range of physical properties.
- One of the most useful characteristics of zinc is its resistance to atmospheric corrosion, and just over half of its use is for the protection of steelwork.
- The position of zinc in the electromotive series of metals (below magnesium and aluminum but above cadmium, iron, nickel and hydrogen) means that if discontinuities in a coating of zinc on steel occur, sacrificial protection is provided with the zinc corroding preferentially in most media.
- It is the combination of this property with high corrosion resistance that makes it so widely used.
- The electronegative character of zinc also leads to its use in considerable quantities in dry batteries.
