Zinc was used in Rome and China more than 2000 years ago as a component of brass. Zinc metal first smelted from zinc ore in India in about 1200 and is known to have been used in China soon after.
Well I know one thing: zinc is found in carrots.
-The Element Zinc is defined as...
A bluish-white, lustrous metallic element that is brittle at room temperature but malleable with heating. It is used to form a wide variety of alloys including brass, bronze, various solders, and nickle silver, in galvanizing iron and other metals, for electric fuses, anodes, and meter cases, and in roofing, gutters, and various household objects.
-The origins of the word Zinc...
The name Zinc originates from the German word 'zin' wich means tin.

Interest facts..
The name originates from the German word 'zin' meaning tin.
Zinc is classified as a "Transition Metal" which are located in Groups 3 - 12 of the Periodic Table. An Element classified as a Transition Metals is ductile, malleable, and able to conduct electricity and heat.
Zinc alloys have been used since ancient times by the Asians, Greeks, Chinese and Romans. Zinc was discovered by the chemist Andreas Marggraf in 1746. It was isolated two years earlier by Anton von Swab.
Zinc is the fourth most common metal in use.

What is the difference between zinc sulfate and zinc gluconate?
When zinc is linked with picolinic acid (an enzyme-hormone), it becomes Zinc Picolinate. Zinc Picolinate greatly enhances the availability of Zinc and other minerals for body utilisation (copied from a product page).

What is the full name for zinc?
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...
Which poisonous gas also helps to reduce some of the zinc oxide inside the furnace?
Well, isn't that an interesting question. The poisonous gas you're referring to is carbon monoxide. It not only helps reduce zinc oxide in the furnace but also plays a crucial role in various industrial processes. Remember, every element has its own unique purpose in the grand scheme of things.
What is the Best zinc lozenges?
This is a topic that I've found very interesting over the past few years. I used to be a very big skeptic over the use of supplements such as Echinacea, Vitamin C and Zinc. However, I recently discovered that I was completely wrong. Zinc is your best bet, but you have to be careful. Most Zinc lozenges don't do anything to help you. They may taste great, like candy even, but candy never helped us with our colds. Rather, be sure the Zinc you're ingesting in a lozenge comes in the form of Zinc Acetate, not Zinc Gluconate, as most commercial lozenges do. Lozenges that contain a few milligrams of Zinc, not "as Zinc Glucomate" will also do you well. I'm my research, the cheaper the Zinc lozenge, the more likely it is to contain Zinc Gluconate. Go for the mid-range prices and read the label. I've found what I use to be very effective and I get mine at Walgreens. It is their brand of Zinc Lozenges that I find work for me.
