Physical Properties Of ZincZinc has many physocal properties that differes it from other elements:
1. Phase: solid 2. Colour: Bluish-white metal 3. Luster: exibits a shine 4. It is neither ductile or malletable at room temperature 5. When it is heated it become ductile and malletable and it can be rolled into sheets |
Chemical Properties Of ZincChemical Properties are the characteristics that that determine how a substance will react with other susbtances when it is changed chemically. The chemical properties that make up zinc include:
1. Zinc is a faily reactive metal that will combine with xygen and other non-metals. 2. Zinc metal tarnishes in mosit air and burns in air to form the white zinc oxide 3. It is a fair electrical conductor and will react with dilute acids to release hydrogen 4. Zinc does not react with water 5. There are numerous compounds of zinc including Zinc Oxide and Zinc Chloride Reaction of zinc with air: 2Zn(s) + O2(g) → 2ZnO(s) [white] Reaction of zinc with water: Zinc does not react with water. Reaction of zinc with acids: Zn(s) + H2SO4(aq) → Zn2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) + H2(g) |
