Zinc
The zinc is a partially reactive, blue-gray metal that darkens in the humid air and burns with a bright, bluish-green flame in contact with the air, giving back the “zinc-oxide” gas. Acids react with alkali metals and non-metal. If it’s not completely pure, the zinc effect reacts with reduced acids, revealing hydrogen. The general accepted oxidation status of the zinc is + 2. Zinc metal can be forged from 100°C to 210°C (212°F to 410°F) and easily inserted into different shapes. Above 210°C (410°F), the metal becomes more fragile and can be crushed and dust by tapping. Zinc is not magnetic. Zinc, 23 in the crust. it’s the most common element. The most removed zinc ore (sfalerite, ZnS zinc-sulfur) contains approximately 10% iron and 40–50% zinc. Other minerals that are extracted zinc are smitsonite (zinc carbonate), hemimorfit (zinc silicate), and frankliniters (Fe, MN, Zn) (Fe, MN) 2O4).
