Match the value of Born exponent with the appropriate compound. given that the Born exponent values for the individual ions are Be 2+ = 5, F - = 7, Zn 2+ , S 2- and Cl - = 9, Rb + = 10, Cs + = 12 respectively.
-ZnS

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Born exponent for ZnS is calculated by averaging the Born exponents of Zn2+ and S2-, which are 9 and 5 respectively. (9 + 5) / 2 = 7. However, the closest given option is 9.0, which is the typical value used for ZnS in many contexts.
