The arrangement of CI^(-) ions in CsCI structure is

Assertion (A) : Zinc blende and wurtzite both have fcc arrangement of S^(2-) ions. Reason (R ) : A unit cell of both has four formula units of ZnS .

Arrangement of sulphide ions in zinc blende is :

The arrangement of sulphur in zinc blende and wurtzite structures , respectively are

Assertion : ZnS has a body centred cubic arrangement. Reason : In ZnS, Zn^(2+) , ions occupy alternate tetrahedral sites while S^(2-) ions form cubic close packed structure.

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 :
