To begin with, let’s get acquainted with Zn(OH)3 – a kind of chemical substance that is often not mentioned much in textbooks. Clearly, Zn(OH)3 is not a common name for any substance because it does not exist under normal conditions. In practice, there is no accurate information about this substance that we can discuss, including atomic mass, molecular mass, molecular structure, ion structure, physical and chemical properties as well as typical chemical reactions.
This is not surprising because Zn(OH)3 is not a reasonable substance in chemical elements. It does not comply with the octet rule, ion contact rule, or any other rules that we use to predict the existence of specific chemical substances.
Therefore, there is no way to synthesize Zn(OH)3, whether in the laboratory or on an industrial scale. However, we can discuss related chemicals such as Zn(OH)2, zinc hydroxide (II), a white solid that exists in the form of hexagonal crystals.
Remember that our main goal is to understand the structure and properties of chemical substances, as well as how they react with each other. To achieve this, we need to master the basic principles of chemistry, and ensure that what we learn is accurate and reflects reality.
