Corundum (Al2O3) type Structure:

This type structure is exhibited by oxides of trivalent metals for examples Fe₂O₃, Al₂O₃, Cr₂O₃, Mn₂O₃ etc.

General formula is M₂O₃:

In Corundum  Structure:

O^-2 = ions forms HCP unit cell:

M⁺³ = Occupied  2/3 (66.66%) of octahedral voids (OV): and 33.33% OV are empty and TVs are 100% empty.

In Hexagonal close packing (HCP): Formula determination:

O^-2 = HCP = O₆

M⁺³=2/3 x 6 = M₄

=M₄O₆  or  M₂O₃

Rutile (TiO2) type Structure:

This type of structure is represented by TiO₂ and other example are includes MnO₂ , SnO₂ , MgF₂, NiF₂ etc 

In Rutile structure:

O^-2  = ions forms hexagonal cubic packing (HCP).

M⁺⁴ =Tetravalent cations are occupied 50 % (1/2) of octahedral voids (OV) while all the tetrahedral voids (TO) are empty.

HCP= Lattice points (LP) = O^-2= 6

M⁺⁴ ions = OV (50%) =6 x 1/2 = 3

M₃O₆ = MO₂

It means each HCP unit cell certain three (M⁺⁴ ) and  six (O^-2 )ions

Pervoskite (ABO3) type structure:

ABQ₃ is a proto type solid where A is a divalent cation  and B is a tetravalent cation.

A⁺² = Divalent cations

B⁺⁴ =Tetravalent cations

In Pervoskite structure:

A⁺² = placed at corner of cubic unit cell

O^-2 = placed at all the face centre

That means A⁺² and O^-2 ions combinelly form CCP/FCC like structure  and

B⁺⁴ = Tetravalent cations occupy the central octahedral voids (25% of total OV) i.e centre of the centre of the unit cell so general formula is ABO₃

Other examples are BaTiO₃, SrTiO₃

Both CO2 and N2O are linear but dipole moment of CO2 is zero but for N2O it is non-zero, why?

The answer lies in the structure of these molecules, CO₂ is symmetrical molecule while N₂O is unsymmetrical, thus for N₂O, dipoles do not cancel each other, leaving the molecule with a resultant dipole, while the bond moment of CO₂ cancel each other, so CO₂ has no net dipole moment.
