Solution
The correct option is D Group IV, white ZnO forms a green solid with CoO. ZnO+CoO→CoZnO2 cobalt zincate (green) ZnO is obtained when zinc carbonate is heated. ZnCO3Δ−→ZnO+CO2 Zn2+ belongs to fourth group. It is precipitated as white precipitate of ZnS (zinc sulphide) that is insoluble in ammonium hydroxide.
