2NaOH +Zn ---->Na2ZnO2 + H2 why this forms instead of Na2Zn +H2O
adithya02:
Na2ZN is not an element
It doesnt exist
In simple words Na has +1 charge and Zn has +2 charge so Na2Zn has total +4 charge. Unless the total charge becomes 0 the element wont exist. Na2ZnO2 total charge is 0.
(2+2-4=0)
but that formula is in ncert book
that says that it is a metal radical
even i had a doubt that u say
so i asked it here
