In which of the following crystals, alternate tetrahedral voids are occupied?

A

`NaCl`

B

`ZnS`

C

`CaF_(2)`

D

`Na_(2)O`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In `ZnS` structure, sulphide ions occypy all fcc lattice points, while `Zn^(2+)` ions are present in alternate tetrahedral sites.
