In the time blende structure `(ZnS), S^(2-)` adopts ccp arrangement and `Zn^(2+)` occupies

A

Octahedral sites

B

Hexagonal sites

C

Teragonal sites

D

Both octahedral sites

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Zine bleads (ZnS) has simple cubic arrangement so `Ze^(-2)` occupy tetrhedral sides.
