Zinc typically donates two electrons when it forms compounds, which allows it to achieve a stable electron configuration. In its elemental form, zinc has an atomic number of 30 and an electron configuration of [Ar] 3d^10 4s^2. By losing the two electrons from the 4s subshell, zinc commonly forms a +2 oxidation state in various chemical reactions and compounds.
