Question

In the zinc blende structure (ZnS), S2- adopts ccp arrangement and Zn2+ occupies (A) Octahedral sites (B) Hexagonal sites (C) Tetrahedral sites (D) Both octahedral and tetrahedral sites

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Zinc blende (ZnS) has simple cubic arrangement. So Zn+2 occupy tetrahedral sites.

Q. In the zinc blende structure $(Z n S), S^{2 -}$ adopts ccp arrangement and $Z n^{2 +}$ occupies

Octahedral sites

Hexagonal sites

Tetrahedral sites

Both octahedral and tetrahedral sites

Zinc blende $(Z n S)$ has simple cubic arrangement. So $Z n^{+ 2}$ occupy tetrahedral sites.
