How many yellow spheres and green spheres are there per unit cell shown?
How many yellow spheres and green spheres are there per unit cell shown?
For a unit cell, the corners count as 1/8 of a sphere and atoms completely within the unit cell count as 1. This gives us 1 yellow and 1 green sphere in the unit cell shown above.

Zinc Sulfide can be described as a cubic close packed arrangement of Zn with sulfur occupying one-half of the tetrahedral holes. Based upon that description and the figure above, what is the formula for zinc sulfide?
Zinc Sulfide can be described as a cubic close packed arrangement of Zn with sulfur occupying one-half of the tetrahedral holes. Based upon that description and the figure above, what is the formula for zinc sulfide?
The figure above has 8 Zn atoms on the corners (counting as 1/8) and 6 Zn atoms on the faces (counting as ½). This gives 4 Zn atoms in the unit cell. The Sulfur atoms are completely within the unit cell and count as 1 each for a total of 4 S atoms. This gives the formula Zn4S4 which reduces down to ZnS.
