See periodic table. Zinc is the 24th most abundant element in Earth's crust and has five stable isotopes. The most common zinc ore is sphalerite (zinc blende), a zinc sulfide mineral. The largest workable lodes are in Australia, Asia, and the United States. Zinc is refined by froth flotation of the ore, roasting, and final extraction using electricity ( electrowinning).

Copper is used as a conductor of heat and electricity, as a building material, and as a constituent of various metal alloys, such as sterling silver used in jewelry, cupronickel used to make marine hardware and coins, and constantan used in strain gauges and thermocouples for temperature measurement. Copper is one of the few metals that can occur in nature in a directly usable metallic form (native metals). This led to very early human use in several regions, from circa 8000 BC. Thousands of years later, it was the first metal to be smelted from sulfide ores, circa 5000 BC; the first metal to be cast into a shape in a mold, c. 4000 BC; and the first metal to be purposely alloyed with another metal, tin, to create br ... <a href="/html/ALL/s/C/Copper.html" style="text-decoration:none;"> <br>[...More Info...] &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp <a href="/html/ALL/l/C/Copper.html" style="text-decoration:none;"> [...Related Items...] &nbsp &nbsp <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper" target=_blank style="text-decoration:none;"><b> OR:</b> &nbsp &nbsp [Wikipedia] &nbsp </a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Copper" target=_blank style="text-decoration:none;"> [Google] &nbsp </a> <!-- <a href="https://www.bing.com/search?q=Copper" target=_blank style="text-decoration:none;"> [Bing] &nbsp </a> --> <!-- <a href="https://search.yahoo.com/search?q=Copper" target=_blank style="text-decoration:none;"> [Yahoo] &nbsp </a> --> <!-- <a href="https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Copper" target=_blank style="text-decoration:none;"> [DuckDuckGo] &nbsp </a> --> <a href="https://www.baidu.com/s?wd=Copper" target=_blank style="text-decoration:none;"> [Baidu] &nbsp </a> <!-- <a target="_blank" href= "https://www.amazon.com/best-sellers-books-Amazon/zgbs/books?&linkCode=ll2&tag=summaryads-20&linkId=d306a27d115d3acda99952aa20527cd6&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl" style="text-decoration:none;">[Amazon Books]</a> --> </div> <br></a></a> <br> </div> <!-- data-end ---></td> <!-- row-end ---></tr> <!-- row-start ---><tr; > <!-- data-start ---><td width="15%"><p> <a href="/html/ALL/s/B/Brass.html" title="Click for more on -> Brass"> <center><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6b/Persian_astrolabe.jpg" title="Click for more on -> Brass" width="100%;" height="auto;"><center></a> <a href = "https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Persian_astrolabe.jpg" target=_blank style="text-decoration:none; color:#d0d0d0;">picture info</a> </p> <!-- data-end ---></td> <!-- data-start ---><td valign="top"; width="75%"; > <div style="margin-left:0%; margin-right:9%";> <!-- <a href="/php/SummaryGet.php?FindGo=Brass" title="Click for more on -> Brass"><big>Brass</big><br> </a> ---> <div style="margin-left:2%";> <big><big><b><a href="/html/ALL/s/B/Brass.html" style="text-decoration:none;">Brass</a></b></big></big><br> Brass is an alloy of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn), in proportions which can be varied to achieve different mechanical, electrical, and chemical properties.

Both bronze and brass may include small proportions of a range of other elements including arsenic (As), lead (Pb), phosphorus (P), aluminium (Al), manganese (Mn), and silicon (Si). Historically, the distinction between the two alloys has been less consistent and clear, and modern practice in museums and archaeology increasingly avoids both terms for historical objects in favor of the more general " copper alloy".

Each family caters to a certain sector of the computing industry. For example, Windows NT for consumers, Windows Server for servers, and Windows IoT for embedded systems. Defunct Windows families include Windows 9x, Windows Mobile, and Windows Phone. The first version of Windows was released on November 20, 1985, as a graphical operating system shell for MS-DOS in response to the growing interest in graphical user interfaces (GUIs).
