Q. In the sphalerite (ZnS) structure, $S^{2-}$ ions form a face-centred cubic lattice. Then from the Comers, $Zn^{2+}$ ions are present on the body diagonals at

The Solid State

Solution:

$Zn^{2+}$ ions are present at l/4th of the distance from the comer along each body diagonal (one on each body diagonal).
