Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The wavelength of x-ray diffraction has to be given.
Concept introduction:
Bragg equation:
Bragg diffraction occurs when radiation, with a wavelength comparable to atomic spacing is scattered in aregular fashion by the atoms of a crystalline system and undergoes constructive interference. For a crystalline solid the waves are scattered from lattice planes separated by the interplanar distance

Chemistry: Principles and Practice
- Calcium oxide consists of a face-centered cubic array of O2 ions, with Ca2+ ions at the center of the unit cell and along the centers of all 12 edges. Calculate the number of each ion in the unit cell.arrow_forwardPalladium has a cubic crystal structure in which the edge of the unit cell is 389 pm long. If the density of palladium is 12.02 g/cm3, how many palladium atoms are in a unit cell? In which of the cubic unit cells does palladium crystallize?arrow_forwardThe CsCl structure is a simple cubic array of chloride ions with a cesium ion at the center of each cubic array (see Exercise 69). Given that the density of cesium chloride is 3.97 g/cm3, and assuming that the chloride and cesium ions touch along the body diagonal of the cubic unit cell, calculate the distance between the centers of adjacent Cs+ and Cl ions in the solid. Compare this value with the expected distance based on the sizes of the ions. The ionic radius of Cs+ is 169 pm, and the ionic radius of Cl is 181 pm.arrow_forward
- A portion of the crystalline lattice for potassium is illustrated below. (a) In what type of unit cell are the K atoms arranged? A portion of the solid-state structure of potassium. (b) If one edge of the potassium unit cell is 533 pm, what is the density of potassium?arrow_forwardThe compounds ethanol (C2H5OH) and dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3) have the same molecular formula. Which is expected to have the higher surface tension? Why?arrow_forward
