In the zinc blende structure, zinc ions ...

In the zinc blende structure, zinc ions occupy alternate tetrahedral voids and `S^(2-)` ions exist as ccp the radii of `Zn^(2+)` and `S^(2-)` ions are 0.83Å and 1.74 Å respectively.The edge length of the ZnS unit cell is :

A

2.57 Å

B

5.14 Å

C

2.96 Å

D

5.94 Å

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`r_+/(r_(-))` gt0.414 `implies a=4/sqrt3(r_+ +r_-)=4/sqrt3(0.83+1.74)=5.935 Å ~~ 5.94 Å`
