Spinel is a important class of oxides consisting of two types of metal ions with the oxide ions arranged in CCP pattern. The normal spinel has one - eight of the tetrahedral holes occupied by one type of metal ion. and one half of the octahedral hole occupied by another type of metal ion. Such a spinel is formed by Zn2+, Al3+,O2-, with Zn2+ in the tetrahedral holes. Give the formula of spinel.
