Question:
BaZrO3 and CaZrO3 are perovskites with similar Zr–O distances. While BaZrO3 is cubic, CaZrO3 is orthorhombically distorted by octahedral tilting. Which of these two compounds will have a larger band gap? Explain your reasoning. The Zr–O–Zr angle is 180° in BaZrO3 and 146° (on average) in CaZrO3.
