zinc forms Zn2+ ion which has completely filled '3d' orbitals but vacant '4s' and '4p' orbitals which may accept the electrons from Ligands and form coordinate covalent bonds, due to 'sp3' hybridization the complexes of Zinc are tetrahedral.

∙ 11y agoUnoxidized zinc is actually very metallic in the outlook. It is shiny, metal white, silver color, a little whiter than silver.
It actually depends what we define as being a colour.
In the proper definition of colours, Black, White and degrees between Black and White are not colours. This is more defined as "shades".
In our daily life, we consider White and Black as colours, but in fact, Black only have the ability to absorb all colours, and true White is a combination of all colours in the spectrum of light.
I am pretty sure that we can say that Zinc is colourless by the proper definition of what a colour is.
If you look at Copper, this will reflect more red and yellow than the other colours in the spectrum, hence we say that Copper is "reddish" :)
When you look at Pure unoxidized Zinc, maybe even polished like a mirror, it will work like a mirror, reflecting almost equal proportions of the colours in the spectrum... The reflection will only be "shaded" down slightly, and you basically see only the colours of objects reflected.
With Copper, no matter how well polished, this metal will tint the colours reflected towards red and yellow.

∙ 16y agono as zinc has a full 'd' orbital and the filling and empting of this orbital is what gives compounds their colours. zinc's orbitals are 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 3d10, 4s2

What is the reaction of pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria in zinc sulfate?
if it is react with zinc this colour will change or not>
When zinc rod is dipped in zinc sulphate sol then concentration of solution after time will be?
The concentration of the zinc sulphate solution will not change when a zinc rod is dipped into it. This is because zinc is already present in the solution as zinc ions, so the addition of a zinc rod will not alter the concentration of zinc ions in the solution.
Difference between compound zinc chrolide and mixture zinc chloride?
Compound zinc chloride has undergone chemical reaction which means the process is irreversible. The mixture is a physical change and can therefore be reversed.
If copper and zinc sulfate are all non black colors why do I get a black substance when copper sulfate reacts with zinc?
The zinc is either contaminated with copper, or the copper is depositing so quickly onto the zinc that it is in a non crystalline structure and therefore appears to be black. Try melting some of the black stuff with a blowtorch and see what happens.
What happens to zinc when it is not galvanized?
I don't think you've understood the process. Galvanizing is the name of the method by which you apply a surface layer of zinc on to steel or iron, to prevent it from rusting. Applying a surface layer of zinc onto zinc doesn't really change anything.
Does zinc change digestion?
no
Can golden retreivers change colors?
No they can not change colors

Does phosphorus change colors?
The Phosphorus change colors is Chameleons.
Is a dissolving zinc in acid a chemical change or physical change?
Dissolving zinc in acid is a chemical change. It really isn't being dissolved, it is reacting with the acid to form new substances. For example, if you react zinc with hydrochloric acid, the products will be zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. The zinc seems to dissolve, but it is actually combining with the chlorine in the hydrochloric acid. Zn + 2HCl ---> ZnCl2 + H2
Is the dissolving of zinc in acid a physical or chemical change?
chemical change

Is dissolving zinc in sulphuric acid is a chemical change?
Yes, the zinc reacts with th sulfuric acid to produce zinc sulfate and hydrogen gas.
Is dissolving zinc in water physical or chemical?
Zinc doesn't dissolve in water, but if it did, it would be a physical change.
What is the effect on zinc granules when added to dilute sulphuric acid?
the test tube which holds the zinc becomes hot , the zinc turns into zinc chloride and hydrogen gas is produced. It is a chemical change.
Can zinc color change into brass color?
YES
When zinc and hydrochloric acid combine what change occurs?
Zinc is dissolved (as Zn2+ ions) and H2 ga is evolved
