I recently was in need of zinc for an experiment. So I resorted to obtain it from some dry cell. But I wondered if it was pure zinc or was it ZnO2ZnOX2 or any other compound of ZnZn. It then occurred to me that I had knowledge of existence of pure ZnZn and its compounds, but how would its discovery have happened without the prior knowledge of its existence?
