Your full equation is ok.
The half equations are
Zn ==> Zn^2+ + 2electrons
O2 + 4 electrons ==> 2O^2-
For the full equation you multiply equation 1 by 2 and add to equation 2.
Write the reactants and products of the reaction between zinc and oxygen. Include the half-reactions. What type of reaction is this?
I know the reaction is 2Zn + O2 -> 2ZnO
I am not really sure where to go from here.
