Answer 1

Explanation:

ZnS occurs in two common polytypes, zincblende (also called sphalerite) and wurtzite. The two types have these features in common: a 1:1 stoichiometry of Zn:S. a coordination of 4 for each ion (4:4 coordination)Mar 30, 2015

Formula: ZnS

Atomic Positions: S: 0, 0, 0 Zn: 0.25, 0.25, 0.25; (can interchange if desired)
