<p>Importing a new version from external source</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The element was probably named by the alchemist [[Paracelsus]] after the German word &#039;&#039;Zinke&#039;&#039; (prong, tooth). German chemist [[Andreas Sigismund Marggraf]] is credited with discovering pure metallic zinc in 1746. Work by [[Luigi Galvani]] and [[Alessandro Volta]] uncovered the electrochemical properties of zinc by 1800. [[Corrosion]]-resistant [[galvanization|zinc plating]] of iron ([[hot-dip galvanizing]]) is the major application for zinc. Other applications are in electrical [[Zinc–carbon battery|batteries]], small non-structural castings, and alloys such as brass. A variety of zinc compounds are commonly used, such as [[zinc carbonate]] and [[zinc gluconate]] (as dietary supplements), [[zinc chloride]] (in deodorants), [[zinc pyrithione]] (anti-[[dandruff]] shampoos), zinc sulfide (in luminescent paints), and [[dimethylzinc]] or [[diethylzinc]] in the organic laboratory.</div>
