Answer

Zinc Carbonate: $Zn (CO_{3)}$ Zinc Oxide: $ZnO$ Carbon dioxide: $CO_{2}$

Work Step by Step

Zinc Carbonate is $Zn (CO_{3)}$, Carbonate anion has a -2 charge so Zinc cation should have a +2 charge, making the overall compound neutral. Zinc Oxide as $ZnO$, Oxide anion has a -2 charge so Zinc cation should have a +2 charge, making the overall compound neutral. Carbon dioxide as $CO_{2}$: Fact.
