+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.
Zinc carbonate is an ionic compound with the formula ZnCO3.
It's name is just a zinc ion. Normally its symbol is Zn2+
the chemical formula of zinc sulphate is ZnSO4.
Nitrate is a polyatomic ion. Zn(NO3)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.

The formula for zinc chloride is ZnCl2. This compound is made up of one zinc ion and two chloride ions.
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.
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 zinc ion (Zn2+) and sulfite ion (SO32-) create the ionic compound of Zinc Sulfite, or ZnSO3.
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 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.
The chemical formula of zinc nitrate is Zn(NO3)2.
The formula for sodium zincate, Na2ZnO2, is derived from the combination of sodium (Na), zinc (Zn), and oxygen (O) ions. In the compound, the zinc ion has a +2 charge, the sodium ion has a +1 charge, and the oxygen ion has a -2 charge. By balancing the charges, you get the formula Na2ZnO2.
