Question
Coordination number of Zn2+ and S2- in the crystal structure of wurtzite are
Options
A.4, 4
B.6, 6
C.8, 4
D.8, 8
Solution
Wurtzite has face centred cubic structure in which each Zn2+ ion is attached to four S2- ions and each S2- ion remains in contact with four Zn2+ ions. Hence coordination number of each ion is 4.
