The element wis probably named bi the alchemist [[Paracelsus]] efter the German wird ''Zinke'' (prong, tuith). German chemist [[Andreas Sigismund Marggraf]] is credited wi discovering pure metallic zinc in 1746. Wirk bi [[Luigi Galvani]] an [[Alessandro Volta]] uncovered the electrochemical properties o zinc bi 1800. [[Corrosion]]-reseestant [[galvanization|zinc plating]] o iron ([[het-dip galvanisin]]) is the major application for zinc. Ither applications are in electrical [[Zinc–carbon battery|batteries]], smaw non-structural castins, an alloys sic as [[bress]]. A variety o zinc compoonds are commonly uised, sic as [[zinc carbonate]] an [[zinc gluconate]] (as dietary supplements), [[zinc chloride]] (in deodorants), [[zinc pyrithione]] (anti-[[fousk]] shampoos), [[zinc sulfide]] (in luminescent paints), an zinc methyl or [[zinc diethyl]] in the organic laboratory. |
