Identify the instrument used to find crystal structure from following:
Options
- AX-ray diffractometer
- BUV-Visible spectrophotometer
- CScanning electron microscope
- DTransmission electron microscope
Correct answer
A. X-ray diffractometer
Step-by-step solution
X-Ray Diffraction: - It is an experimental science determining the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal, in which the crystalline structure allows the beam of incident X-rays to diffract into many specific directions. - It is used to obtain a three-dimensional molecular structure from a crystal. - A purified sample at high concentration is crystallized and the crystals are exposed to an x -ray beam.
