The ReO3 structure is cubic with a Re atom at each corner of the unit cell and one O atom on each unit cell edge midway between the Re atoms. Sketch the unit cell and determine a) the coordination number of each Re ion and b) the identity of the structure type that would be generated if a cation were to be inserted into the center of each ReO3 unit cell.

Consider the three types of cubic units cells. (a) Assuming that the spherical atoms or ions in a primitive cubic unit cell just touch along the cubes edges, calculate the percentage of occupied space within the unit cell. (Recall that the volume of a sphere is (4/3)r3, where r is the radius of the sphere.) (b) Compare the percentage of occupied space in the primitive cell (pc) with the bcc and fcc unit cells.
