The value of z in ZnS type structure is 4
- ZnS is found in two crystalline forms in the stoichiometric ratio of 1:1
- The two forms are wurtzite and sphalerite.
- They are polymorphs.
- Wurtzite has a hexagonal structure while sphalerite has a cubic structure.
- In both cases, Zinc and sulfide have tetrahedral coordination.
- Sulphur occupies 8 corners and 6 faces = (8/8)+(6/2) = 4
- Zn occupies 4 tetrahedral holes = (4/1) = 4
- So the value of z in ZnS is 4
