The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "For which of the following cases, the answer is `4`", we need to analyze each option provided in the context of solid-state chemistry. ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Coordination Number of Zn²⁺ in Zinc Blend (ZnS)**: - In the zinc blend structure, the sulfide ions (S²⁻) form a face-centered cubic (FCC) lattice. - The zinc ions (Zn²⁺) occupy half of the tetrahedral voids in this lattice. - In an FCC lattice, there are a total of 8 tetrahedral voids. - Since Zn²⁺ occupies half of these, it occupies 4 tetrahedral voids. - Therefore, the coordination number of Zn²⁺ is **4**. 2. **Number of Body Diagonal Planes in a Cube**: - A cube has 6 body diagonal planes. - Therefore, this does not give us the answer of 4. 3. **Formula Units in a Rock Salt Structure (NaCl)**: - The rock salt structure is also an FCC type structure where Cl⁻ ions form the FCC lattice. - Na⁺ ions occupy all the octahedral voids in this structure. - In an FCC lattice, the number of formula units is given by the number of lattice points in the unit cell. - For NaCl, there are 4 formula units per unit cell. - Therefore, this gives us the answer of **4**. 4. **Formula Units in CsCl**: - CsCl forms a simple cubic structure. - In a simple cubic structure, there is only 1 formula unit per unit cell. - Therefore, this does not give us the answer of 4. ### Conclusion From the analysis: - The coordination number of Zn²⁺ in Zinc blend is **4**. - The number of formula units in a rock salt structure (NaCl) is also **4**. Thus, the cases for which the answer is `4` are: 1. Coordination number of Zn²⁺ in Zinc blend. 2. Formula units in a rock salt structure (NaCl).
