El zinc es un elemento químico metálico de símbolo Zn y número atómico 30. Forma parte del grupo 12 (o IIB) de elementos de transición en la tabla periódica de elementos. Se encuentra en la tierra y varios minerales, incluida la esfalerita, contienen zinc.
El zinc es un metal de color marrón grisáceo oscuro con una densidad relativamente baja (7,14 g/cm3). Es un metal dúctil y maleable, lo que significa que se puede doblar o moldear fácilmente. También es relativamente suave a temperatura ambiente, pero se endurece a medida que se enfría. Es muy resistente a la corrosión y oxidación.
El zinc se usa muy comúnmente en aleaciones que incluyen cobre (la aleación común más utilizada, cobre-zinc, se conoce comúnmente como latón), aluminio y latón. También se utiliza en la fabricación de revestimientos y otros artículos galvanizados. También se agrega a varios metales para mejorar sus propiedades corrosivas. Además, el zinc se utiliza en la industria mecánica y eléctrica para producir diversas piezas y componentes.
El zinc también es muy importante para la salud humana, ya que es un micronutriente esencial. La mayor parte del zinc en el torrente sanguíneo se encuentra en los órganos y tejidos, incluidos la piel, el hígado y los riñones. El zinc juega un papel importante en el metabolismo de las proteínas y los lípidos, y ayuda a mantener la reproducción y la salud inmunológica.
