3. Who discovered me? Andreas Marggraf
It was identified as an element in 1746.
Name Origin: From the German word zin (meaning tin)

4. Roles Zinc take
Zinc is an essential mineral that keeps the body's enzymes activated.
 17% of zinc is used in producing brass and bronze.
 17% percent is used in die-casting
66% of zinc goes to creating roofing materials, or into chemical compounds such as zinc oxide.
Zinc oxide helps prevent corrosion.

5. Food that contains zinc
If you don't get enough zinc, it can slow the rate at which hair grows. I can also lead to hair loss and cause red, flaky skin

6. Physical Features the metal is blueish-white
brittle at ambient temperatures 
becomes malleable between 212 and 320 degrees Fahrenheit
Becomes brittle again at 410 Fahrenheit

7. “Friends”
zinc may combine in a one to one ratio with: oxygen, sulfur, selenium, or tellurium
one to two ratio: fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, or astatine
two to one ratio: carbon, or silicon
these are the simpler molecules zinc forms, more complex molecules would include boron(-5), nitrogen, phosphorus, or arsenic(-3)
