The abbreviation Zn stands for the element zinc.
Zn is the abbreviation for the element Zinc, found in the periodic table of elements; it's atomic number is 30.
There is no chemical formula for zinc, it is an element. It is represented by the symbol Zn.
There does not seem to be any rational reason, other than general agreement.The symbols for elements generally used single letters for the earliest discoveries, espeically when there were fewer elements with similar names. The name "zincum" was likely from one of several German words (zinn= tin, zinke=toothed). The symbol Zn was in use long before the element zirconium was discovered.
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...
The abbreviation for zinc is Zn
The abbreviation Zn stands for the element zinc.
Zn is the abbreviation for the element Zinc, found in the periodic table of elements; it's atomic number is 30.
If you mean the chemical abbreviation, it's (atomic#30)Zn
There is no element that corresponds to the abbreviation Ln. The closest approximation to this chemical formula is ZnCl2, or zinc chloride.
There is no chemical formula for zinc, it is an element. It is represented by the symbol Zn.
Zinc is not the only element whose name starts with the letter z. There is also zirconium. To distinguish between these two elements, it is necessary to use more than just a z. So they made zinc Zn and zirconium Zr. It's true that they could have made zinc Z and still would have been able to distinguish it from Zr, but this would imply that zinc is more important than zirconium, and this would offend the powerful zirconium lobby. Remember, zirconium is used to make fake diamonds.
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.
A place you go to drink zinc? No, it is an ingot of the metal zinc.
