   tin: cf. f. zinc, from the german. cf. tin. chem.
   an abundant element of the magnesium-cadmium group, extracted
   principally from the minerals zinc blende, smithsonite,
   calamine, and franklinite, as an easily fusible bluish white
   metal, which is malleable, especially when heated. it is not
   easily oxidized in moist air, and hence is used for sheeting,
   coating galvanized iron, etc. it is used in making brass,
   britannia, and other alloys, and is also largely consumed in
   electric batteries. symbol zn. atomic number 30. atomic
   weight 65.38. formerly written also zink.

      alloy. it has a disagreeable odor, and is spontaneously
      inflammable in the air. it has been of great importance in
      the synthesis of organic compounds, and is the type of a
      large series of similar compounds, as zinc ethyl, zinc
      amyle, etc.
