Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The formula of perovskite for a unit cell should be determined.
Concept introduction:
A unit cell is the smallest repeating unit of a crystal lattice. Unit cells are classified as primitive and non-primitive. Primitive unit cells are those which have atoms at only corners and non-primitive unit cells are those which have atoms at positions other than corners.
Non- primitive unit cells are of various types:
Face centered unit cell (fcc), body centered unit cell (bcc), edge centered unit cell, end centered unit cell.
Contribution of an atom at a position is as follows:
The number of particles per unit cell, also denoted by Z is as follows:
The elements or substances exist more in solid than liquid and gases. These solids can be two types amorphous and crystalline. The crystalline solids are solids that contain their constituent particle in arranged manner. While amorphous solids are solid in which constituent particles get arranged randomly such as rubber.
(b)
Interpretation:
The oxidation state of titanium ion of given perovskite unit cell should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The elements or substances exist more in solid than liquid and gases. These solids can be two types amorphous and crystalline. The crystalline solids are solids that contain their constituent particle in arranged manner. While amorphous solids are solid in which constituent particles get arranged randomly such as rubber.
(c)
Interpretation:
The geometry around each titanium, oxygen, and calcium atom in given unit cell should be determined.

- The CsCl structure is a simple cubic array of chloride ions with a cesium ion at the center of each cubic array (see Exercise 69). Given that the density of cesium chloride is 3.97 g/cm3, and assuming that the chloride and cesium ions touch along the body diagonal of the cubic unit cell, calculate the distance between the centers of adjacent Cs+ and Cl ions in the solid. Compare this value with the expected distance based on the sizes of the ions. The ionic radius of Cs+ is 169 pm, and the ionic radius of Cl is 181 pm.arrow_forwardAn amorphous solid can sometimes be converted to a crystalline solid by a process called annealing. Annealing consists of heating the substance to a temperature just below the melting point of the crystalline form and then cooling it slowly. Explain why this process helps produce a crystalline solid.arrow_forwardA certain metal fluoride crystallizes in such a way that the fluoride ions occupy simple cubic lattice sites, while the metal ions occupy the body centers of half the cubes. What is the formula of the metal fluoride?arrow_forward
