Oxidation number of zinc in zinc amalgam is zero.
Explanation:
- An amalgam is an alloy of mercury with another metal, which when the two are collectively below the proper circumstances alters into a liquid, a soft paste or a solid, reliant upon the relative amount of mercury used.
- These alloys are fashioned through metallic bonding, with the electrostatic attractive force of the transmission electron working similarly to glue to bind all the positively charged metal ions together into a crystal lattice structure.
- Almost all metals can form amalgams with mercury, the notable exceptions being iron, platinum, tungsten, and tantalum. Silver-mercury amalgams are important in dentistry, and gold-mercury amalgam is used in the extraction of gold from ore. For example, Clearly zing amalgam is Zn - Hg
- As per the definition above, two metals i.e. two pure substances are mixed to make amalgams hence amalgams are mixtures. Also, amalgams are mixture of metals and hence they are alloys.
