    \[AgI\] crystallizes in a cubic close-packed ZnS structure. What fraction of tetrahedral sites is occupied by\[A{{g}^{+}}\]ions?

    Answer:

                    In the face centered unit cell of \[AgI,\] there are four \[A{{g}^{+}}\] ions and four \[{{I}^{-}}\] ions. As there are four \[{{I}^{-}}\] ions in the packing, therefore there are eight tetrahedral voids. Half of these are occupied by \[A{{g}^{+}}\] ions.
