Answer:
Whenever you see the word “oxide”, it means that oxygen has gained two electrons ZnO, MgO, Na2O. Compare this with “peroxide”, referring to an oxygen atom that has gained just one electron; hydrogen peroxide H2O2. There is also a “superoxide”, in which two oxygen atoms share a electron gained from one atom only, as in KO2; this has an equivalent 1/2 electron gained by each oxygen. This is interesting because electronically, it does not work, but the large size of the potassium cation has a significant effect that outweighs the electronic effect. In zinc oxide, zinc has lost two electrons and oxygen has gained two electrons. the formula is thus ZnO.
