Given:

Given compound is Zn(NO_3)_2.

To find:

The oxidation number of Zn.

Solution:

The compound is Zn(NO_3)_2.

We know that the oxidation state of NO_3 is -1.

Again this compound contains two NO_3 groups.

Let the oxidation number of Zn be x.

The overall charge of the compound is 0.

So, we can write-

x + ( - 1) \times 2 = 0 \\ x =  + 2

The value of x is +2.

So, the oxidation state or number of Zn in zinc nitrate is +2.
