Q. The mineral perovskite has a structure that is the prototype of many $ABX_{3}$ solids particularly oxides. The perovskite structure is cubic with A atoms surrounded by 12 X atoms and the B atoms surrounded by 6 X atoms. The sum of charges on the cations A and B must be +6; it can be achieved in several ways $\left(\right.A^{2 +}B^{4 +}$ and $A^{3 +}B^{3 +}$ among them). Oxidation state of titanium in $CaTiO_{3}$ (Perovskite) is
