Answer 1

Hii Dear,

Zinc oxide is present as white powder which is insoluble in water.

◆ Answer -

Molecular formula of zinc oxide is ZnO.

● Explaination -

Valency of oxygen = -2

Valency of zinc = +2

We can derive chemical formula of ZnO by crossing valencies

Zn2O2 => ZnO

Hence, molecular formula of zinc oxide is ZnO.

Thanks dear. Hope this helped you..
