In the ionic solid zinc phosphide Zn3P2 what is the formula of the phosphide ion?
The chemical formula of zinc chloride is ZnCl2.
What is the formula for zinc phosphide?
The molecular formula for zinc cyanide is Zn(CN)2. It looks like a white powder.
Is there anything in the name zinc phosphide that indicates there are three zinc and two phosphorus ions in the formula?
No. However, if you know your ions you will know transition metals such as zinc will commonly form a 2+ ion. From its position on the periodic table you may also conclude the phosphide ion has a 3- charge. Balancing the charges results in a formula of Zn3P2.
What compound contains copper zinc and nickel?
Nickel Brass contains 70% copper, 24.5% zinc and 5.5% nickel. It is used to make pound coins in the pound sterling currency.About zinc , the compound's detail is given given below :-Binary compounds of zinc are known for most of the metalloids and all the nonmetals except the noble gases. The oxide ZnOis a white powder that is nearly insoluble in neutral aqueous solutions, but is amphoteric, dissolving in both strong basic and acidic solutions. The other chalcogenides (ZnS, ZnSe, and ZnTe) have varied applications in electronics and optics. Pnictogenides (Zn3N2, Zn3P2, Zn3As2 and Zn3Sb2), the peroxide (ZnO2), the hydride (ZnH2), and the carbide (ZnC2) are also known. Of the four halides, ZnF2 has the most ionic character, whereas the others (ZnCl2, ZnBr2, and ZnI2) have relatively low melting points and are considered to have more covalent character.In weak basic solutions containing Zn2+ ions, the hydroxide Zn(OH)2 forms as a white precipitate. In stronger alkaline solutions, this hydroxide is dissolved to form zincates ([Zn(OH)4]2−).The nitrate Zn(NO3)2, chlorate Zn(ClO3)2, sulfateZnSO4, phosphate Zn3(PO4)2, molybdate ZnMoO4, cyanide Zn(CN)2, arsenite Zn(AsO2)2, arsenate Zn(AsO4)2·8H2O and the chromate ZnCrO4 (one of the few colored zinc compounds) are a few examples of other common inorganic compounds of zinc. One of the simplest examples of an organic compound of zinc is the acetate (Zn(O2CCH3)2).Organozinc compounds are those that contain zinc-carbon covalent bonds. Diethylzinc ((C2H5)2Zn) is a reagent in synthetic chemistry. It was first reported in 1848 from the reaction of zinc andethyl iodide, and was the first compound known to contain a metal-carbon sigma bond. Decamethyldizincocene contains a strong zinc-zinc bond at room temperature.About copper , the compound's detail is given given below :-The simplest compounds of copper are binary compounds, i.e. those containing only two elements. The principal ones are the oxides, sulfides and halides. Both cuprous and cupric oxides are known. Among the numerous copper sulfides, important examples include copper(I) sulfide and copper(II) sulfide.The cuprous halides with chlorine, bromine, and iodine are known, as are the cupric halides with fluorine, chlorine, and bromine. Attempts to prepare copper(II) iodide give cuprous iodide and iodine.About nickel , the compound's detail is given below :-Tetracarbonylnickel (Ni(CO)4), discovered by Ludwig Mond,[19] is a volatile liquid at room temperature. On heating, the complex decomposes back to nickel and carbon monoxide:Ni(CO)4 a = Ni + 4 COThis behavior is exploited in the Mond process for purifying nickel, as described above. The related nickel(0) complex bis(cyclooctadiene)nickel(0) is a useful catalyst in organonickel chemistry due to the easily displaced cod ligands.
