Since ionic compound AB has ZnS type of structutre,therefore it must have tetrahedral voids for which
=>radius of cation/radius of anion = 0.225
=>A+
--------- = 0.225
B-
=>22.5/B- = 0.225
==> B- = 100pm
THANK YOU

FOR ZNs TYPE STRUCTURE THE COMPOUD HAVING TETRAHEDRAL VOIDS
THEREFORE R CATION/ R ANION=0.225
THEREFORE B- IS=100PM
