Usual symbol for diode is with a triangle - looking as an arrow hinged with a vertical line. Arrow head stands for anode for diode and line stands for its cathode.
To give the symbol for zener diode we simply replace the vertical line by letter Z which also symbolizes the first designer 'Zener'

What is Zener resistance of the Zener diode?
zener resistance of a zener diode is the resistance of the zener diode but which is the resistance of a diode
How is zener diode different from a conventional diode or ideal diode?
zener diode :zener diode operates under reverse bias voltageideal diode :ideal diode operates under forward bias voltage
Does a zener diode acts as a switch?
A zener diode cannot be used as switch.
What is the leakage current of zener diode?
The leakage current of a (zener) diode is the current that leaks when a diode is connected in reverse biased.
What is the difference between p n junction and zener diode?
The difference between the pn-junction diode and the zener diode is that the pn-junction diode is used for rectification while the zener diode is used for rectification and stabilization. Also, the zener diode can function in the breakdown region while the pn-juntion diode can not function in that regime.

Who invented the zener diode?
Dr. Clarence Melvin Zener of Southern Illinois University invented the zener diode.
What is the function of zener?
zener diode is a revers bias diode which used for voltage regulation.

When a 3.3 V zener diode is parallel with a 7 V zener diode what is the break down voltage?
Since they are in parallel, the 3.3V zener diode will "kick in" first when you reach 3.3V, and the circuit will pretty much act the same as if the 7V zener diode isn't there at all.
Which diode are also known as reference diode?
zener
Who discovered the electrical property of zener diode?
charles zener
