In this work we report on the Compton scattering study of ZnSe. The Am 241 Compton spectrometer, which uses 59.54 keV gamma rays, has been used for the measurements. The data has been compared with the ionic model based calculations for various Zn +x Se -x configurations (x varying from 0 to 2) and also with the Compton profiles computed from the local and non-local empirical pseudopotential methods. Although, the agreement is better with the local empirical pseudopotential calculation compared to the non-local method, the best agreement has been found with the ionic model for Zn +2 Se-2 configuration suggesting that the bonding in this compound is mainly ionic in nature.
