Is Zinc a Chemical or Physical Property?

Question

Is Zinc a chemical or physical property and tell why. I am so clueless about this.

Answer 1

Zinc is not a chemical or physical property. Zinc is an element (an atom).

Answer 2

The answer is neither! A chemical property is a characteristic of a substance that appears as it interacts with, or transforms into, other substances (think: chemical reaction). A physical property is a characteristic shown by a substance itself, without interacting with or changing into other substances.

Zinc is not a descriptor, but a noun. Zinc IS the substance itself. A physical property of zinc is that it is a good conductor. A chemical property of zinc is that it is not flammable.

I hope I was of some help!!

Answer 3

zinc is an element. judging by the following definitions I would say a physical property.

The phrase "Chemical property" is context-dependent, but generally refers to a material's behaviour at ambient conditions (i.e. room temperature, atmospheric pressure, oxygen-bearing atmosphere). This property becomes apparent during a chemical reaction, and can only be observed by changing a substance's chemical identity.

A physical property is any aspect of an object or substance that can be measured or perceived without changing its identity. Physical properties can be intensive or extensive. An intensive property does not depend on the size or amount of matter in the object, while an extensive property does. In addition to extensiveness, properties can also be either isotropic if their values do not depend on the direction of observation or anisotropic otherwise. physical properties are referred to as observables.

Often, it is difficult to determine whether a given property is physical or not. Color, for example, can be "seen", however, what we perceive as color is really an interpretation of the reflective properties of a surface. In this sense, many ostensibly physical properties are termed as supervenient. A supervenient property is one which is actual (for depend on the reflective properties of a surface - it is not simply imagined), but is secondary to some underlying reality.

This is similar to the way in which objects are supervenient on atomic structure. A "cup" might have the physical properties of mass, shape, color, temperature etc, but these properties are supervenient on the underlying atomic structure, which may in turn be supervenient on an underlying quantum structure.

In the common sense, physical properties can be separated from nonphysical properties. Typically a nonphysical property is associated with a living being. Anger and love are not things which are part of the mechanics of the universe, but terms we use to discuss mental states.

Literally, the physical properties of an object are defined traditional in a Newtonian sense, the physical properties of an object are mass, shape, velocity and location. There may be more (a physicist might care to enhance the accuracy of this section). In an Einstein-relative model, the physical properties of an object might be different. e undernding of a physical property is roughly Newtonian

Answer 4

zinc reacts with all acids forming hydrogen and zinc salt. also reacts with alkali formin zinc hydrxide. zinc surface forms zinc oxide with oxygen of air protacting the further oxidation of metal. used for coating the iron to protact the oxidation of iron. also zinc bar is attached to iron structures to slow down the corrosion of iron (structure) which is called cathodic prtotaction

Answer 5

Zinc is an element

Answer 6

Oh sweetheart, it's physical.

Guy's need it to make baby juice.
