Explanation:

Step1: Identify zinc ion

Zinc has a +2 charge in most of its compounds and is represented as $Zn^{2+}$.

Step2: Identify acetate ion

The acetate ion has the formula $C_{2}H_{3}O_{2}^{-}$.

Step3: Determine the formula

To balance the charges, we need 2 acetate ions for 1 zinc ion. So the formula of zinc acetate is $Zn(C_{2}H_{3}O_{2})_{2}$. The first part is the zinc ion ($Zn$) and the second part is the acetate ion $(C_{2}H_{3}O_{2})_{2}$.

Answer:

B. Zn, G. $(C_{2}H_{3}O_{2})_{2}$
