Answer:

depends on the element it's reacting with..

Step-by-step explanation:

if the another element requires less energy to loose electron then zinc will become negatively charged and hence becomes acidic radical..

normally if it is reacting with element with valency 4 and Atomic number less than it(Ti,Si,C) then it will lose electron and gain positive sign and henve becomes basic radical..
