Perovskite, an oxide mineral, is shown below. The light gray spheres are oxygen anions in edge positions. The dark spheres are calcium cations in corner positions. The small sphere in the body is a titanium cation.   1.  What type of unit cell do the calcium ions define? 2.  What is the empirical formula of the ionic compound formed by calcium, titanium, and oxygen? 3. If the edge length of the unit cell is 3.84Å, what is the density of perovskite (g/cm3)?
