Beryllium, Copper and Boron By: Shreya Uppala, Lizzy Jolly, and Kyrie Harrell Results: The first element we tested was zinc. Since zinc was already known, the density was stated to be 7.13g/mL and the hardness was a 2.5 based on the Mohs Hardness Scale. No magnetic attraction was observed when in contact with a magnet. Zinc had a shiny appearance with a light gray color and the strips of zinc added to solution were approximately 5 cm. When zinc was tested with water there were no noticeable…
