Message definition (Zinc)
'''Zinc''' is a [[chemical element]]; it has [[Chemical symbol|symbol]] '''Zn''' and atomic number 30. It is a slightly brittle metal at [[room temperature]] and has a shiny-greyish appearance when oxidation is removed. It is the first element in [[group 12 element|group 12 (IIB)]] of the [[periodic table]]. In some respects, it is chemically similar to [[magnesium]]: both elements exhibit only one normal oxidation state (+2), and the Zn<sup>2+</sup> and Mg<sup>2+</sup> [[ion]]s are of similar size. Zinc is the 24th most abundant [[Abundance of elements in Earth's crust|element in Earth's crust]] and has five stable [[isotope]]s. The most common zinc [[ore]] is [[sphalerite]] (zinc blende), a [[zinc sulfide]] mineral. The largest workable [[lode]]s are in Australia, Asia, and the United States. Zinc is refined by [[froth flotation]] of the ore, [[Roasting (metallurgy)|roasting]], and final [[extractive metallurgy|extraction]] using [[electricity]] ([[electrowinning]]).

Zinc is a chemical element; it has symbol Zn and atomic number 30. It is a slightly brittle metal at room temperature and has a shiny-greyish appearance when oxidation is removed. It is the first element in group 12 (IIB) of the periodic table.
