A grey deposit slowly forms on the surface of the zinc. I think it's zinc chloride + platinum?
Zinc is higher up the reactivity series and is therefore able to displace platinum from its salt. The metals simply swap over to form zinc chloride and platinum.

you get zinc oxide
2Zn + O2 » 2ZnO
The chemical formula ZnN don't exist; the zinc nitride has the chemical formula Zn3N2.
Zinc nitrate ( Zn(NO3)2) has the elements, zinc, nitrogen and oxygen.
Oxygen is the scientific name. Chemically, you can describe it as O2, as it exists of 2 oxygen molecules with a double (covalent?) binding if I'm not mistaken. An oxygen molecule has 2 free electrons, so combine two and you have a nice stable structure called oxygen. Scematic: O=O or O2
Zinc Oxide. Whenever a metal reacts with oxygen, it bonds them both together, like magnesium+oxygen=magnesium oxide
Zinc is a metal and Oxygen is a non-metal.
It is 'freed' from oxygen
the oxygen of the zinc will combine with acid group of the acid as the ZnOis basic in nature
The chemical formula ZnN don't exist; the zinc nitride has the chemical formula Zn3N2.
Nothing happens if you combine a fuel and oxygen. However, if you then add a source of energy such as a spark of sufficient power, you get a fire, or, in an enclosed space, an explosion.
What happens when iron and oxygen react?
a redox reaction takes place ( one gains oxygen and the other looses oxygen) the zinc (oxide) is displaced and the iron becomes iron oxide and zinc oxide becomes zinc
fire hazard
Zinc nitrate ( Zn(NO3)2) has the elements, zinc, nitrogen and oxygen.
The ONLY elements that will not combine with other elements under normal conditions are the inert noble gases on the far right column of the periodic table, they will not even combine with themselves like other gases do. The reason for this is they are the only elements whose valence shell is entirely full of electrons. So of course zinc will combine with other elements, as its valence shell is not full.What might be confusing you is that zinc is commonly used as a coating on steel and iron to prevent rusting. What you may not know is that the zinc does this because it corrodes much faster than the steel or iron can rust, combining with the oxygen before the steel or iron could combine with the oxygen. Zinc can even (to a limited extent) combine with the oxygen in the existing rust, reducing it back to iron!Zinc very strongly combines with other elements.
Chemical bonds are formed and energy is released.
Oxygen is the scientific name. Chemically, you can describe it as O2, as it exists of 2 oxygen molecules with a double (covalent?) binding if I'm not mistaken. An oxygen molecule has 2 free electrons, so combine two and you have a nice stable structure called oxygen. Scematic: O=O or O2
It is a fairly reactive metal that will combine with oxygen and other non-metals, and will react with dilute acids to release hydrogen.
