Naturally occurring zinc (Zn) is composed of the 5 stable isotopes 64Zn, 66Zn, 67Zn, 68Zn, and 70Zn with 64Zn being the most abundant (48.6% natural abundance). Twenty-one radioisotopes have been characterised with the most abundant and stable being 65Zn with a half-life of 244.26 days, and 72Zn with a half-life of 46.5 hours. All of the remaining radioactive isotopes have half-lives that are less than 14 hours and the majority of these have half lives that are less than 1 second.
Zinc has 30 protons.
In the isotope (^{70}{30}\text{Zn}), the atomic number is 30, which means it has 30 protons and 30 electrons (as it is neutral). The mass number is 70, so the number of neutrons can be calculated by subtracting the number of protons from the mass number: (70 - 30 = 40). Therefore, (^{70}{30}\text{Zn}) has 30 protons, 40 neutrons, and 30 electrons.
The formation of the soluble Zn(OH)4- ion (tetrahydroxidozincate ion)
The most common isotope of zinc is the one with mass number 64; the atomic number of zinc is 30, which means each zinc nucleus contains 30 protons, and the mass number is defined as the sum of the numbers of neutrons and protons. Therefore, the number of neutrons is (64 - 30) or 34.
Isoelectronic species are atoms or ions that have the same number of electrons. Zinc (Zn) has an atomic number of 30, meaning it has 30 electrons in its neutral state. Therefore, ions such as the calcium ion (Ca²⁺), which has 20 electrons, and the gallium ion (Ga³⁺), which also has 27 electrons, can be considered isoelectronic with zinc when they achieve a common electron configuration, such as that of the noble gas krypton (Kr), which has 36 electrons.
The oxidation number of Zn in the complex ion Zn(OH)4 2- is +2. This is because the overall charge of the complex ion is -2, and each hydroxide ion (OH-) has a -1 charge. Hence, the zinc (Zn) ion must have a +2 charge to balance the overall charge of the complex ion.
The number of protons = atomic numberThe number of electrons = atomic number - net ion charge (no charge means not ion)The number of neutrons = mass number - atomic numberAlways start with protons if they are given. If they are not given, use the other numbers to figure out how many protons there are. The 9 protons in this question immediately tell you that the atomic number is 9. This is a dead giveaway as to which element is being discussed. Just look on the periodic table for the atomic number of 9, which is... Flourine! The number of electrons will tell you whether this is an ion or not. Ions are not stable (neutral). This means that they have a negative or positive charge. If you know how to draw a shell diagram, you can place the electrons. If all shells are filled completely and there are no extra electrons in unfilled outer shell, then it is not an ion.

Zinc is a bluish metallic element with the symbol of Zn. Its atomic number 30. It also has 30 protons and electrons.
Zinc chloride has the chemical formula ZnCl2.The total number of protons is 64; the total number of electrons is also 64.The number of neutrons depends on the isotopes of Zn and Cl.
ZnCl2 is not a element. It is an compound. however Zn contains 30 protons.
Zinc (Zn) typically has 30 protons in its nucleus. However, with a positive 2 charge, it has lost two electrons, leaving it with a net charge of +2. This does not change the number of protons, which remains at 30.
It would end up answering with Cobalt = Co. Because the protons stay the same and add the protons and electrons together equaling 59. So (Co+2) would be the final answer.
A zinc atom with a mass number of 66 has 34 neutrons. This is determined by subtracting the atomic number (number of protons) from the mass number, since the mass number represents the sum of protons and neutrons.
The atomic number is 30 because it is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Since the atom is neutral, it will also have 30 electrons surrounding the nucleus to balance the positive charge of the protons.
Zn(OH)2 is an amphoteric compound (dual nature), with acids it behaves as a base and with bases (alkali) as an acid, Zn(OH)2 + 2HCl = ZnCl2 + 2H2O , Zn(OH)2 + 2NaOH = Na2ZnO2 + 2H2O
