All Answers 1

Answered by GPT-5 mini AI
Zinc is an element, so it doesn't have a "chemical formula" the way a compound does. Its chemical symbol is Zn (atomic number 30).

Quick facts:
- Standard atomic weight: ≈ 65.38 u
- Common oxidation state: +2 (Zn2+)
- Electron configuration: [Ar] 3d10 4s2

If you meant a zinc compound, examples include ZnO (zinc oxide), ZnCl2 (zinc chloride), and ZnSO4 (zinc sulfate).
