Zinc \Zinc\ (z[icr][nsm]k), n. [G. zink, probably akin to zinn       tin: cf. F. zinc, from the German. Cf. {Tin}.] (Chem.)       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) .          {Zinc bloom} [cf. G. zinkblumen flowers of zinc, oxide of             zinc] (Min.), hydrous carbonate of zinc, usually occurring             in white earthy incrustations; -- called also             {hydrozincite}.          {Zinc ethyl} (Chem.), a colorless, transparent, poisonous             liquid, composed of zinc and ethyl, which takes fire             spontaneously on exposure to the atmosphere.          {Zinc green}, a green pigment consisting of zinc and cobalt             oxides; -- called also {Rinmann's green}.          {Zinc methyl} (Chem.), a colorless mobile liquid {Zn(CH3)2},             produced by the action of methyl iodide on a zinc sodium             alloy. It has a disagreeable odor, and is spontaneously             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.          {Zinc oxide} (Chem.), the oxide of zinc, {ZnO}, forming a             light fluffy sublimate when zinc is burned; -- called also             {flowers of zinc}, {philosopher's wool}, {nihil album},             etc. The impure oxide produced by burning the metal,             roasting its ores, or in melting brass, is called also             {pompholyx}, and {tutty}.          {Zinc spinel} (Min.), a mineral, related to spinel,             consisting essentially of the oxides of zinc and             aluminium; gahnite.          {Zinc vitriol} (Chem.), zinc sulphate.
