General Description

Zinc is a critical chemical element with the symbol Zn and atomic number 30. A bluish-white lustrous metal, it is naturally found alongside other base metals like copper and lead in ores, and is the 24th most abundant element on Earth. It's a particularly essential nutrient for the human body, crucial for growth and development, especially for vision, cognitive function, immune response, and reproduction. Zinc also plays a vital role in many physical and biological processes. It is used heavily in industry; primarily in galvanization, which is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel or iron to prevent rusting. Its compounds are useful in modern material sciences, medicine, agriculture, and even nanotechnology.
