Zinc compounds are chemical compounds containing the element zinc which is a member of the group 12 of the periodic table. The oxidation state of zinc in most compounds is the group oxidation state of +2. Zinc may be classified as a post-transition main group element with zinc(II). Zinc compounds are noteworthy for their nondescript appearance ...
Zinc peroxide (ZnO 2) is a chemical compound of zinc that appears as a bright yellow powder at room temperature.It was historically used as a surgical antiseptic.More recently zinc peroxide has also been used as an oxidant in explosives and pyrotechnic mixtures.
Zinc sulfate is a chemical in dyes and pigments. [148] Zinc pyrithione is used in antifouling paints. [153] Zinc powder is sometimes used as a propellant in model rockets. [154] When a compressed mixture of 70% zinc and 30% sulfur powder is ignited there is a violent chemical reaction. [154]
Zinc hydroxide Zn() 2 is an inorganic chemical compound.It also occurs naturally as 3 rare minerals: wülfingite (orthorhombic), ashoverite and sweetite (both tetragonal). Like the hydroxides of other metals, such as lead, aluminium, beryllium, tin and chromium, Zinc hydroxide (and Zinc oxide), is amphoteric.
Zinc sulfide (or zinc sulphide) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula of ZnS. This is the main form of zinc found in nature, where it mainly occurs as the mineral sphalerite. Although this mineral is usually black because of various impurities, the pure material is white, and it is widely used as a pigment.
Zinc sulfate is an inorganic compound with the formula ZnSO 4.It forms hydrates ZnSO 4 ·nH 2 O, where n can range from 0 to 7. All are colorless solids. The most common form includes water of crystallization as the heptahydrate, [4] with the formula Zn SO 4 ·7H 2 O.
Zinc acetate is a component of some medicines, e.g., lozenges for treating the common cold. [1] Zinc acetate can also be used as a dietary supplement. [2] As an oral daily supplement it is used to inhibit the body's absorption of copper as part of the treatment for Wilson's disease. [3]
