Zinc has an [[electron configuration]] of [Ar]3d<sup>10</sup>4s<sup>2</sup> and is a member of the [[group 12 element|group 12]] of the [[periodic table]]. It is a moderately reactive [[metal]] and strong [[reducing agent]]. The surface of the pure metal [[tarnish]]es quickly, eventually forming a protective [[Passivation (chemistry)|passivating]] layer of the basic [[Hydrozincite|zinc carbonate]], {{chem|Zn|5|(OH)|6|(CO<sub>3</sub>)|2}}, by reaction with atmospheric [[carbon dioxide]].</div>FuzzyBot
