Heating Zinc Oxide

Hi everyone! Welcome to another post, today for science we did an experiment on Zinc Oxide. For this experiment, we had to observe what would happen when we heat Zinc Oxide. 

Aim: To see what change happens when we heat Zinc Oxide.

Equipment: Safety Glasses, Bunsen Burner, Heat Mat, Tripod, Crucible, Crucible Holder, Zinc Oxide. 

Results: When the Zinc Oxide was heating, the colour of the Zinc Oxide turned yellow. When the heat was taken off the Zinc Oxide the colour was back to its normal colour, white.

Discussion: When the Zinc Oxide was heated, the electrons that revolve around the zinc move from one level to another, which made it change colour.
