this would be in the Electronic's catagory, and it would be sparkable and when exposed by oxygen it turns in to zinc oxide it could be used as plateting metal and electrical matters.
There are some uses.
Seems like other materials in TPT could do the the same thing. What would Zinc Oxide do?
@The_Tallgeese when oxygen exposes zinc turns white and it's called, zinc oxide is a gas and a solid zinc oxide is non-flammable it's brown as a gas and when solid it's white
it's does the same thing as zinc just turned white, because of oxygen.
Last I checked, we did not have copper in TPT. Just to throw a use into your suggestion: If IRON detects zinc within fifteen pixels of itself, it will not rust when exposed to water.
There both a solid but Zinc can be exposed by oxygen and can be a gas.
oh ok i'll edit it.
