basic dyes are more effective for bacterial staining than acidic dyes because basic dyes have a positive charged chromogen. Bacterial nucleic acids and certain cell wall compo â¦ nents carry a negative charge that strongly binds to the cationic chromogen.
Zinc oxide can be used in ointments, creams, and lotions to protect against sunburn and other damage to the skin caused by ultraviolet light (see sunscreen). It is the broadest spectrum UVA and UVB reflector that is approved for use as a sunscreen by the FDA, and is completely photostable.he zinc oxide is thought to have been produced by heating zinc ore in a shaft furnace. This liberated metallic zinc as a vapor, which then ascended the flue and condensed as the oxide. This process was described by Dioscorides in the 1st century AD.
Formation of Zinc Oxide: Oxidation is a loss of electrons and reduction is a gain of electrons. The oxidation of metallic Zn by O2 to form ZnO(s) is illustrated at the molecular level. The transfer of electrons from Zn to O2 is shown.
