Detailed Solution

Zinc blende and wurtzite are two distinct types of ZnS that can be found. Both exist in the form of 4:4 coordination compounds. Wurtzite has a hcp structure, while zinc blende has a fcc structure.
In zinc blende, S2- ions alternate with Zn2+ ions in tetrahedral voids to produce a fcc unit cell.
In wurtzite, Zn2+ ions and S2- ions combine to create a hcpc unit cell in alternating tetrahedral voids.
