What charge is the following metal? Zn3N2

The charge on the metal is + 2

Explanation:

Taking a good look at the compound zinc nitride, we will notice that it is made up of zinc and nitrogen.

Zinc has a common common oxidation state of + 2 while nitrogen has a common oxidation state of - 3. When the two atoms combine, the individual charges on them will be + 2 for zinc and - 3 for nitrogen according to their common oxidation states.

Hence the answer.
