A zinc cup is made of zinc, which is a chemical element with the symbol Zn and atomic number 30. Zinc is a bluish-white metal that is relatively soft, malleable, and ductile. It is commonly used in the production of alloys, such as brass and bronze, as well as in the galvanization of iron and steel to prevent rusting.
