yes cos' it is white and a lot of people use it all over the world BYE
Zincite crystals are rare. Zincite itself is a rare mineral and forms along with many minerals, especially with Willemite,Calcite and Franklinite in massive hydrothermal replacement deposits.
No zinc is not rare
It is common
Abundant
NO
Zinc is a common element.
For clarity, zinc (II) nitrate would be the preferred name. However, if you just said "zinc nitrate", most chemists would guess you meant that formula; the +1 oxidation state is technically possible for zinc, but zinc (I) compounds are relatively rare.
Zn(OH)2, or zinc hydroxide, is used as a mordant for dies. It is used as an intermediate in the production of pesticides. It is used in lotions with zinc oxide. It is even used in some batteries and rubber goods.
Zinc is the full name of the metal. Zinc is an transition element, proton number 30, Relative atomic mass about 65. However, there are loads of possible zinc compounds (zinc chemically tied to something else) such as Zinc chloride, zinc sulphate, zinc nitrate...
Zinc is obtained from zinc blende/sphalerite ore (zinc sulphide)
Zinc is a common element.
The cation of zinc is Zn2+; compounds with monovalent zinc are only rare curiosities.
Zinc is not as expensive as copper i think. because before 1984 pennies were made of copper. now since 1984 copper has been replaced with zinc because it is less expensive.
For clarity, zinc (II) nitrate would be the preferred name. However, if you just said "zinc nitrate", most chemists would guess you meant that formula; the +1 oxidation state is technically possible for zinc, but zinc (I) compounds are relatively rare.
They're not all that rare. If dirty and corroded, about 5 cents each. Really nice uncirculated examples can be bought from a dealer for $1 or $2.
The mountains of Idaho contain veins of gold, silver, lead, zinc, cobalt, copper, and many other rare minerals.
Armenia Contains Iron, Copper, Molybdenum, Lead, Zinc, Gold, Silver, Antimony, Aluminum, As Well As Other Rare Metals.
Will it stick to a magnet? If not, it is not steel. There are no genuine 1972 steel cents. 1943 only.
Think zinc.Zinc is the way to think.
zinc ash,zinc ingot,zinc dross
Zinc is a simple element, so the only thing in zinc is zinc.
To make zinc powder from zinc metal, the zinc metal will have to be crushed.
