Consider the zinc blende structure formed by the sulphide ions occupying the FCC lattice points and zinc ions occupying some of the tetrahedral voids Select the correct statement about the crystal assuming it to be ideal The coordination number of Zn and S is same and equal to 4 The contribution of the S ions towards the packing efficiency is 74 approx The contribution of the Zn ions towards the packing efficiency is 1 approx The packing efficiency of the ZnS structure is 78 9 approx
