When zinc is linked with picolinic acid (an enzyme-hormone), it becomes Zinc Picolinate. Zinc Picolinate greatly enhances the availability of Zinc and other minerals for body utilisation (copied from a product page).
Both are ionic compounds of zinc containing Zn2+. The interesting thing about the gluconate salt is that it forms a complex with two gluconate ions coordinated to the central zinc atom, which is four coordinate- so is very similar to a transition metal complex, and can be consideed to be molecular even though the bonding to the metal is essentially ionic. The gluconate ions are large and "wrap around the zinc ion. As it is molecular it is readily absorbed by organisms.
Zinc is an element, zinc sulfate is a compound (an ionic compound to be more specific).
Zinc: Zn
Zinc sulfate: ZnSO4
Also, they have vastly different properties. Zinc conducts electricity as a solid, zinc sulfate conducts electricity only in liquid or aqueous states.
The anions are different.
Zn= zinc SO4 = sulfate ZnSO4 = Zinc sulfate
The chemical formula (not symbol) of zinc sulfate is ZnSO4.
The RDI for zinc is 11-15mg (for male adults). For example, 10 mg of zinc gluconate contains 1,43 elemental zinc. Therefore, one should ingest 77 mg of zinc gluconate daily in order to meet their daily requirements (provided that one does not obtain zinc from other food sources).
the chemical formula of zinc sulphate is ZnSO4.
Zn + H2SO4 -> ZnSO4 + H2 Zinc sulfate and hydrogen gas.
Zincum is the same as Zinc.... There is zinc sulfate and zinc gluconate. Zinc gluconate or Zincum gluconicum is the main ingredient in Zicam and is used to shorten the duration of the common cold. Not sure what 1x or 2x mean, but there are approximately 13.3 mg of zinc in each Zicam lozenge. And a normal 2000-calorie diet delivers approximately 10mg of zinc per day.
Zn= zinc SO4 = sulfate ZnSO4 = Zinc sulfate

Because zinc displaces Copper to produce zinc sulfate and Copper

It may be either a reactant or a product depending on what the reaction is. If you react elemental zinc with sulfuric acid to form zinc sulfate and hydrogen, then it is a product. If you react aqueous zinc sulfate with sodium hydroxide to form solid zinc hydroxide and sodium sulfate, then it is a reactant.
the chemical formula of zinc sulphate is ZnSO4.
Zn + H2SO4 -> ZnSO4 + H2 Zinc sulfate and hydrogen gas.
One formula unit of zinc sulfate is ZnSO4. It contains 6 atoms.
