+2. Zinc forms the Zn2+ ion in its ionic compounds. Zinc has electronic configuration of [Ar] 3d10, 4s2 and the two s electrons are lost to form the Zn2+ ion.
Zn+2 because they lose 2 electrons
It's name is just a zinc ion. Normally its symbol is Zn2+
the chemical formula of zinc sulphate is ZnSO4.
Zinc carbonate is an ionic compound with the formula ZnCO3.
Nitrate is a polyatomic ion. Zn(NO3)2
The compound zinc chloride has ZnCl2 as its chemical formula. The zinc atom is bonded to a pair of chlorine atoms. A link can be found below for more information.

In any ionic compound the charges of the ions must balance out to zero. The zinc ion has a 2+ charge while the fluoride ion has a 1- charge. So zinc fluoride must contain two fluoride ions for every zinc ion.

The chemical formula of zinc chloride is ZnCl2.
Zinc forms Zn+2 ion while sulphur forms S-2.
The formula is ZnO. Zn has an ion charge of 2+ and 0 has an ion charge of 2-. Therefore it cancels each other out only leaving Zn0.
why is an iron ion attracted to a sulfide ion but not to a zinc ion
No. However, if you know your ions you will know transition metals such as zinc will commonly form a 2+ ion. From its position on the periodic table you may also conclude the phosphide ion has a 3- charge. Balancing the charges results in a formula of Zn3P2.
