  2. Zinc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc

    For a metal, zinc has relatively low melting (419.5 °C) and boiling point (907 °C). [29] The melting point is the lowest of all the d-block metals aside from mercury and cadmium; for this reason among others, zinc, cadmium, and mercury are often not considered to be transition metals like the rest of the d-block metals. [29]

    The Gmelin rare earths handbook lists 1522 °C and 1550 °C as two melting points given in the literature, the most recent reference [Handbook on the chemistry and physics of rare earths, vol.12 (1989)] is given with 1529 °C.

  4. Group 12 element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_12_element

    For a metal, zinc has relatively low melting (419.5 °C, 787.1 °F) and boiling points (907 °C, 1,665 °F). [8] Cadmium is similar in many respects to zinc but forms complex compounds. [ 16 ] Unlike other metals, cadmium is resistant to corrosion and as a result it is used as a protective layer when deposited on other metals.

  5. Post-transition metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-transition_metal

    Scatter plot of electronegativity values and melting points for metals (up to fermium, element 100) and some borderline elements (Ge, As, Se, Sb, Te, At). Elements categorised by some authors as post-transition metals are distinguished by their relatively high electronegativity values, and relatively low melting points (Pt is anomalous in this ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pewter

    Pewter has a low melting point, around 170–230 °C (338–446 °F), depending on the exact mixture of metals. [2] [3] The word pewter is possibly a variation of "spelter", a term for zinc alloys (originally a colloquial name for zinc). [4]

  9. Zinc sulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_sulfide

    Zinc sulfide (or zinc sulphide) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula of ZnS. This is the main form of zinc found in nature, where it mainly occurs as the mineral sphalerite . Although this mineral is usually black because of various impurities, the pure material is white, and it is widely used as a pigment.
