Zinc oxide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula ZnO. It is a form of zinc oxide, in which Zn exists in the +2 form and O exists in the -2 form.Zinc oxide crystals have three structures: hexagonal wurtzite structure, cubic sphalerite structure, and the rare sodium chloride octahedral structure. The wurtzite structure is the most stable of the three and is therefore the most common. The cubic sphalerite structure can be obtained by gradually generating zinc oxide on the surface. In both crystals, each zinc or oxygen atom forms a regular tetrahedral structure with its neighboring atoms. The octahedral structure has only been observed under high pressure conditions of 10 billion Pascals.
