The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we need to analyze both statements regarding the zinc blende structure of ZnS. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Zinc Blende Structure**: - The zinc blende structure (ZnS) is a type of crystal structure where zinc ions (Zn²⁺) and sulfide ions (S²⁻) are arranged in a specific manner. - In this structure, the S²⁻ ions form a face-centered cubic (FCC) lattice. 2. **Position of Ions**: - In the FCC structure, the S²⁻ ions occupy the corners and the face centers of the cube. - The Zn²⁺ ions occupy the tetrahedral voids in the FCC lattice. Specifically, they occupy alternate tetrahedral voids. 3. **Analyzing Statement 1**: - Statement 1 claims that "In ZnS zinc blende structure Zn²⁺ forms FCC while alternate tetrahedral voids are occupied by S²⁻." - This statement is incorrect because it incorrectly states that Zn²⁺ forms the FCC structure. In reality, it is the S²⁻ ions that form the FCC structure, while Zn²⁺ occupies the tetrahedral voids. 4. **Analyzing Statement 2**: - Statement 2 claims that "Positions of Zn²⁺ and S²⁻ in zinc blende structure are similar." - This statement is also incorrect because the positions of Zn²⁺ ions (which occupy tetrahedral voids) and S²⁻ ions (which occupy FCC lattice points) are not similar. 5. **Conclusion**: - Both statements are incorrect. Therefore, Statement 2 does not provide a correct explanation for Statement 1. - The correct answer is that both statements are false. ### Final Answer: Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are false. ---
