      An abundant element of the magnesium-cadmium group, extracted
      principally from the minerals zinc blende, smithsonite,
      calamine, and franklinite, as an easily fusible bluish white
      metal, which is malleable, especially when heated. It is not
      easily oxidized in moist air, and hence is used for sheeting,
      coating galvanized iron, etc. It is used in making brass,
      britannia, and other alloys, and is also largely consumed in
      electric batteries. Symbol Zn. Atomic weight 64.9. [Formerly
      written also {zink}.]
  
      {Butter of zinc} (Old Chem.), zinc chloride, {ZnCl2}, a
            deliquescent white waxy or oily substance.
  
      {Oxide of zinc}. (Chem.) See {Zinc oxide}, below.
  
      {Zinc amine} (Chem.), a white amorphous substance,
            {Zn(NH2)2}, obtained by the action of ammonia on zinc
            ethyl; -- called also {zinc amide}.
  
      {Zinc amyle} (Chem.), a colorless, transparent liquid,
            composed of zinc and amyle, which, when exposed to the
            atmosphere, emits fumes, and absorbs oxygen with rapidity.
           
  
      {Zinc blende} [cf. G. zinkblende] (Min.), a native zinc
            sulphide. See {Blende}, n.
      (a) .

            inflammable in the air. It has been of great importance in
            the synthesis of organic compounds, and is the type of a
            large series of similar compounds, as zinc ethyl, zinc
            amyle, etc.
