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.

Will zinc combine with other elements?

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.


What happens when two oxygen molecules combine to form a molecule of oxygen?

Chemical bonds are formed and energy is released.


What is the scientific name of zinc 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


What is the chemical behavior of zinc?

It is a fairly reactive metal that will combine with oxygen and other non-metals, and will react with dilute acids to release hydrogen.
