Does zero padding change the actual frequency?

I tried adding zeros to the end of a 10 Hz signal, by making it the double the length of original signal length, I know the resolution should increase in fft , (but not more accurate). But as I noticed the frequency shifts a bit as well towards 9,5 Hz , even if i zero padd even more it will still shift but slightly, is that normal? how can I solve it? and is there a limit to the amount of zero padding needed? are there any drawbacks with zero padding?

How many elements per second do you have along the time axis? Can you show your code?

When you add zeros to your signal you get a new different signal, obviously, its fft will be different
