Chemical and physical properties of zinc MEL Chemistry
Zinc, like oth#173;er met#173;als of the plat#173;inum group (ruthe#173;ni#173;um, rhodi#173;um, plat#173;inum, os#173;mi#173;um, pal#173;la#173;di#173;um, and irid#173;i#173;um), is a tran#173;si#173;tion met#173;al and forms com#173;plex com#173;pounds, in which it acts as a com#173;plex#173;ing agent. Zinc has five sta#173;ble nat#173;u#173;ral#173;lyoc#173;cur#173;ring iso#173;topes with mass#173;es rang#173;ing from 64 to 70.
