'''Zinc hydroxide''' ](])<sub>2</sub> is an ] ]. It also occurs naturally as 3 rare minerals: ] (orthorhombic), ] and ] (both tetragonal).

Like the hydroxides of other metals, such as ], ], ], ] and ], Zinc hydroxide (and ]), is ]. Thus it will dissolve readily in a dilute solution of a ], such as ], and also in a solution of an alkali such as ].

==Preparation==
It can be prepared by first dissolving ] in concentrated aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. The resulting solution is strongly diluted.<ref>{{cite book|author1=F. Wagenknecht|author2=R. Juza|chapter=Zinc Sulfide|title=Handbook of Preparative Inorganic Chemistry, 2nd Ed. |editor=G. Brauer|publisher=Academic Press|year=1963|place=NY,NY|volume=2pages=1074}}</ref>
:Zn<sup>2+</sup> + 2 OH<sup>−</sup> → Zn(OH)<sub>2</sub>.

The initial colorless solution contains the ]:
:Zn(OH)<sub>2</sub> + 2 OH<sup>−</sup> → Zn(OH)<sub>4</sub><sup>2−</sup>.
Zinc hydroxide will dissolve because the ion is normally surrounded by water ligands; when excess sodium hydroxide is added to the solution the hydroxide ions will reduce the complex to a −2 charge and make it soluble. When excess ammonia is added, it sets up an equilibrium which provides hydroxide ions; the formation of hydroxide ions causes a similar reaction as sodium hydroxide and creates a +2 charged complex with a co-ordination number of 4 with the ammonia ligands - this makes the complex soluble so that it dissolves.

Unlike the hydroxides of aluminium and lead, zinc hydroxide also dissolves in excess aqueous ] to form a colorless, water-soluble ].

==Applications==
One major use is as an absorbent in ].
It is also used to find zinc salts by mixing ] with the suspect ].
