Zinc is more reactive with oxygen than silver. When exposed to oxygen, zinc will undergo oxidation to form zinc oxide, a white powdery substance. on the other hand, silver is relatively inert and does not react with oxygen easily.
Fe + O2 ---> 2FeO 2Fe + 3O2 ----> 2Fe2O3
When zinc burns in oxygen, it forms zinc oxide. This reaction is exothermic and produces heat and light. The chemical equation for this reaction is: 2Zn + O2 → 2ZnO.
2 Zn + O2 = 2 ZnO (zinc oxide, a white powder)
1. Heating zinc oxide at approx. 2 000 0C this compound is thermally decomposed in oxygen and zinc. 2. Zinc oxide can be reduced with carbon to obtain zinc and oxygen: ZnO + C = Zn + CO

The react to form zinc sterate and water
Yes, zinc generally forms a protective oxygen-containing layer over its surface when exposed to most atmospheres or liquids that might otherwise cause it to oxidize extensively. However, the passivation of zinc is much less durable than that of chrome-nickel stainless steels, for example.

Zinc and Chlorine are the elements of zinc chloride.
Carbon dioxide in the air can react with zinc metal to form zinc carbonate. This reaction occurs over time as the zinc surface is exposed to air containing carbon dioxide, leading to the formation of a white powdery layer of zinc carbonate on the surface of the metal.
zinc and nitrogen, and oxygen are the elements. It has the formula Zn(NO2)2
