How many oxidation states does zinc have?

Zinc typically exhibits an oxidation state of +2, where it loses two electrons. It is rare for zinc to have other oxidation states, but in certain compounds or complexes, such as in zinc oxide (ZnO) or zinc hydroxide (Zn(OH)2), it can show an oxidation state of +1.

How does zinc's electron configuration account for this oxidation number?

Zinc's electron configuration is [Ar] 3d10 4s2. It readily loses both its 4s electrons to achieve a full d shell, resulting in an oxidation state of +2 in most of its compounds. The stable 3d10 configuration following the loss of electrons contributes to zinc's preference for the +2 oxidation state.


What is the final oxidation number of gold and zinc respectively?

Is zinc oxide heavier than iron oxide and why?

Because zinc in more massive than iron. This assumes that iron in in its 2(+) oxidation state.


What is the oxidation state of ZnSO4?

In ZnSO4, the oxidation state of Zn (Zinc) is +2, the oxidation state of sulfur (S) is +6, and the oxidation state of oxygen (O) is -2. This is because the overall charge of the compound is zero, so the sum of the oxidation states must equal zero.


What is the oxidation number for zinc ZnO?

The oxidation number for zinc (Zn) in ZnO is +2. This is because oxygen typically has an oxidation number of -2 and the overall compound is neutral, so the oxidation number of zinc must be +2 to balance it out.
