Structure: ZnS

    ZnS has a unique structure type compared to other molecules, having different types of unique structures. ZnS can have a zinc blende structure which is a "diamond-type network" and at a different temperature, ZnS can become the wurtzite structure type which has a hexagonal type symmetry. Structure-wise, the zinc blende structure is more thermodynamically favored, however, because of the wurtzite structures slow construction, both forms of ZnS can be found.

    The following headers are meant as a guide to the sections that you need in your module. Here, before the table of contents, give a two-four sentence overview of the Module. Be straight to the point. No examples and no figures in this section.  Keep the following text for automatic table of contents based on the headings below (seen in edit mode only).

    1. 1. Introduction
    2. 2. Heading #1
    3. 3. Heading #2
    4. 4. References
    5. 5. Outside Links
    6. 6. Problems
    7. 7. Contributors

    Introduction

    Please use only heading 2 and lower, heading 1 is ugly and is avoided.  In this section, give a short introduction to your topic to put it in context. The module should be easy to read; please reduce excess space, crop figures to remove white spaces, full justify all text, with the exception of equations, which should use the equation command for construction (see FAQ).

    Heading #1

    Rename to desired sub-topic. This is where you put the core text of your module. Add any number of headings necessary for your topic. Try to reduce unnecessary discussion and get to the point in a terse, yet informative, manner possible.

    Heading #2

    Rename to desired sub-topic. You can delete the header for this section and place your own related to the topic. Remember to hyperlink your module to other modules via the link button on the editor toolbar.

    References

    1. This is meant for references used for constructing the module. They must be primary and accessible to readers at a library.        
    2. You need at least two different sources here. Websites are not allowed. DOI links to J. Chem. Ed. are ideal Do not reference class notes. Also, do not reference textbooks for maximal credit. Using the insert citation button to automatically handle references is highly suggested (bottom right button on editor toolbar).

    Outside Links

    • This is not meant for references used for constructing the module, but as secondary and unvetted information available at other site
    • Link to outside sources. Wikipedia entries should probably be referenced here.
    • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_sulfide

    Problems

    Be careful not to copy from existing textbooks. Originality is rewarded. Make up some practice problems for the future readers. Five original with varying difficulty questions (and answers) are ideal.

    Contributors

    • Name #1 here (if anonymous, you can avoid this) with university affiliation
    • Name #2 here with university affiliation

    Tags below. If no tags exist, then add two new ones: "Vet1" and the level of the module content (e.g. "Fundamental"). See FAQ for more details.
