Zinc's Four Levels

As for metal, it has many uses. In fact, modern civilization has thrived off of things where iron is used like: buildings, car frames, bridges, and much more.

Zinc: My intake value of zinc was 5.59 mg, while the DRI value 8.00 mg. This result should be concerned because Zinc acts as cofactors to protect from oxidative damage (Hammond, 2016f). Also, the symptoms of lacking Zinc includes diarrhea, slow wound healing, damaged digestive system and so on (Hammond, 2016h). Therefore, it is important to maintain a normal intake level of Zinc.

The zinc mossy (metal) does not react with water because it forms a protective layer of insoluble zinc hydroxide, Zn(OH)2, but zinc sulfate on the other hand, dissolves in water, forming zinc ions, Zn+2 and sulfate ions, SO4-2. The solution then will be boiled up and pennies are added into the solution, touching the zinc mossy. The zinc metal will dissolve and release electron that would go into the penny and give it a negative charge. The zinc ion in the solution is now attracted to the pennies, which then will gather and form a thin layer of zinc metal around the pennies, giving it a silvery color (NurdRage,

In the nucleus of an atom there are protons and neutrons the number of protons and neutrons depends on the element and ,if it is an isotope of that element. E.g. carbon 12, carbon 12 has six neutrons six protons and 6 electrons . Electrons are located around the nucleus of the atom. Electrons are in shells, the shell closest to the nucleus is 1 , the one after 2 and so on. Each shell can only hold up to a certain number of electrons . the first can hold up to 2 , the second 8 (2+6) the third up to 18 (2+6+10). The general formula for finding out how many electrons a shell can hold is 2n^2. Electrons have a negative charge , while protons have a positive and neutrons have no charge. A atom has the same number of protons and electrons. An ion is formed when an atom loses or gains a electrons .

Zinc helps the immune system to resist cold sores. It also strengthens the epithelial tissue on the lips and the inside of the mouth to prevent cold sores from getting some foothold.

Zirconium ion has more stability than Zirconium atom because Zr ion consists of a stable valance electron. On the other hand, a Zr atom has two valence electrons; therefore it reacts more, because it can easily lose two electrons to a specific atom to become stable. The attraction between the balanced valence shell and its’ nucleus causes decrease in the atomic radius. Due to that attraction, the electrons and nucleus of the Zr ion are held tighter together than the Zr atom.

Zoé’s first power that she discovered was the ability to protect from the UV rays. Zinc Oxide helps Zoé be able to this because it sits on the top and effectively put an amour like layer to protect us. Zoé can also help heal because of the Zinc powers she has absorbed. Zinc is known to help heal and stop the growth of bacteria. In 2006, the Annals of Burns and

Zinc is needed because it helps produce insulin and enzymes. The dose needed is 11-12 milligrams. Food sources in which zinc can be found are red meats, poultry, beans, nuts, whole grains, fortified cereals, oysters and dairy products.

Zinc Chloride is chemically represented as ZnCl2. It can easily attract and hold water from the surrounding environment and hence needs to be stored

Zinc, number 30 on the periodic table and a bluish-white metallic element, exists naturally in air, water and soil. It is present everywhere in the environment. All life on earth has evolved in the presence of zinc. Natural processes such as erosion, forest fires, aerosol formation above the seas and volcanic eruptions continuously transport Zinc. Zinc melts at about 420° C and boils at about 907° C. Zinc is efficient for plants. Zinc-deficient soils present in many parts of the world are a cause of low crop yields. Not only does it help plants but also the human body. It is responsible for the proper functioning of more than 300 enzymes in the human body, and is vital for the immune system. It will also fight against cold

Zinc is recommended by dermatologists because of the ability this essential mineral has to fight against acne. Zinc has incredible anti-inflammatory properties that can actually work to heal the skin from the inflammation that causes the acne to occur.

The periodic table is a table that categorises and displays all of the chemical elements. It is made up of groups, periods and blocks. A group (also referred to as a family) are the columns of elements, there are 8 groups. The elements in each family have similar but not identical properties and they all have the same number of outer electrons. E.g. lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K) are all soft, white, shiny metals because they are all members of group 1. A period is each horizontal row of elements, there are 7 periods. In a period, the elements are not alike in properties, the first element in a period is always an extremely active solid, and the last element in a period is always an inactive gas. Properties change greatly across a given row. Each new period represents the next shell which electrons fill. A block is a region of the periodic, there are 4 blocks: S, D, P and F.

Magnesium and Zinc are tied at 33% DV. Both support healthy immune systems. Zinc is essential for DNA and protein synthesis; and accelerates wound healing. Magnesium is known as the anti-stress mineral and promotes a

Zinc is not just used for batteries, pennies and brass shell casings. It is also used for medicine. Interestingly it is known as an “essential trace element” for the small amounts of it necessary for human health. It was discovered by Andreas Marggraf in 1746 in Germany, after two other men (William Champion and Anton von Swab) a couple years earlier. Andreas Marggraf though, was credited for the isolation of Zinc after establishing a detailed theory for it. A reason I chose the picture of the pennies is because they are thought to be made of copper, but these days it is about 97.5% zinc inside. The brass shell casings are interesting for the reason that the brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, showing another variety of objects made of zinc.

So, if one of the ingredients is Zinc 20X, that means the product contains Zinc that has been diluted 20 times. One of the most popular cold medicines on the market, Zicam, is actually a homeopathic remedy that consists of nothing more than homeopathic zinc in a nasal gel. Most people that use Zicam do not even realize that it is a homeopathic product.
