A spinel is an important class of oxides consisting of two types of metal ions with the oxide ions arranged in ccp layers. The normal spinel has 1/8^th of the tetrahedral void occupied  by one type of metal and one half of the octahedral voids occupied by another type of metal ions. Such a spinel is formed by Zn²⁺, Al³⁺ and O^2- with Zn²⁺ in tetrahedral void. Give the simplest formula of the spinel.

1. ZnAl₂O₄

2. ZnAl₂O₃

3. ZnAlO

4. None of these
