The most common ore of this element is sphalerite.
A couple of copper and this element is used to convert alkenes into cyclic molecules in the Simmons-Smith reaction. An amalgam of this element is used to reduce compounds with carbonyl carbons to alkanes in a reaction named for Clemmenson. The most common ore of this element is sphalerite. This element is coordinated by amino acids in a protein motif called this element's finger. The hot-dip method is often used to carry out a process involving the electrodeposition of this metal onto another to prevent rusting. For 10 points, name this metal used to coat iron in galvanization with symbol Zn.
