Question

how can the technique of x ray crystallography be used to determine the crystalline structure of solid substances such as sodium chloride

Answer 1

ANSWER:

X-ray crystallography (XRC) is the experimental science determining the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal, in which the crystalline structure causes a beam of incident X-rays to diffract into many specific directions. ... In a single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurement, a crystal is mounted on a goniometer.
