the structure of a solid can be determined by diffraction of radiation in which region of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum?

Respuesta :

Radiation Diffraction

Atoms' surrounding electron clouds can serve as diffraction gratings and x-ray scattering sites. This makes it possible to determine the structure of molecules as well as the solid state structure (i.e., the lattice types and unit cell dimensions).

The principles of diffraction are based on Bragg's Law:

nλ=2dsinθ

n is the diffraction order, which is typically 1.

the radiation's wavelength of incidence

the distance between the lattice planes, where

is the angle between the incident radiation and the scattering plane.

Powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD), which gives the cell constants for the solid's unit cell, is used when the material is a powder.

The intensity of the diffraction peaks is utilised to determine all atom locations when the sample is a single crystal, which provides bond lengths and bond angles.
