  2. Zinc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc

    Zn, the most abundant isotope of zinc, is very susceptible to neutron activation, being transmuted into the highly radioactive 65 Zn, which has a half-life of 244 days and produces intense gamma radiation. Because of this, zinc oxide used in nuclear reactors as an anti-corrosion agent is depleted of 64 Zn before use, this is called depleted ...

    For example, terpyridine, which is a tridentate ligand forms the complex [Zn(terpy)Cl 2]. Another example would involve a tripodal ligand such as Tris(2-aminoethyl)amine. Square pyramidal 5-coordinate Zinc is found in Tetra(4-pyridyl)porphinatomonopyridinezinc(II) [ 19 ] Solution studies of other 5-coordinate Zinc porphyrins have been reported.

    Zinc fingers help read DNA sequences.. Zinc is an essential trace element for humans [1] [2] [3] and other animals, [4] for plants [5] and for microorganisms. [6] Zinc is required for the function of over 300 enzymes and 1000 transcription factors, [3] and is stored and transferred in metallothioneins.

Water in foods Local structure in liquid water; Micro-crystallization in ice cream emulsions

  6. Zinc oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_oxide

    Zinc oxide is an inorganic compound with the formula Zn O.It is a white powder which is insoluble in water. ZnO is used as an additive in numerous materials and products including cosmetics, food supplements, rubbers, plastics, ceramics, glass, cement, lubricants, [12] paints, sunscreens, ointments, adhesives, sealants, pigments, foods, batteries, ferrites, fire retardants, semi conductors ...

  7. Zinc pyrithione - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_pyrithione

    The pyrithione ligands, which are formally monoanions, are chelated to Zn 2+ via oxygen and sulfur centers. In the crystalline state, zinc pyrithione exists as a centrosymmetric dimer (see figure), where each zinc is bonded to two sulfur and three oxygen centers. [3] In solution, however, the dimers dissociate via scission of one Zn-O bond ...

  8. Isotopes of zinc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_zinc

    Naturally occurring zinc (30 Zn) is composed of the 5 stable isotopes 64 Zn, 66 Zn, 67 Zn, 68 Zn, and 70 Zn with 64 Zn being the most abundant (48.6% natural abundance).Twenty-eight radioisotopes have been characterised with the most stable being 65 Zn with a half-life of 244.26 days, and then 72 Zn with a half-life of 46.5 hours.

  9. Zinc nitrate - Wikipedia

    2 zn(no 3) 2 → 2 zno + 4 no 2 + 1 o 2 Aqueous zinc nitrate contains aquo complexes [Zn(H 2 O) 6 ] 2+ and [Zn(H 2 O) 4 ] 2+ . [ 3 ] and, thus, this reaction may be better written as the reaction of the aquated ion with hydroxide through donation of a proton, as follows.
