A mineral containing calcium, oxygen and titanium crystallises in a given cubic unit cell. What is the formula of the mineral?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Contribution by calcium (Ca) atoms present at the eight corners `=8//8=1`
Conturibution by oxygen (O) atoms present at the centre of the six faces `=6xx(1)/(2)=3`.
Contribution by titanium (Ti) atom = 1 present at the body centre.
The formula of the `CaTiO_(3)`.
