Silver iodide is used for producing artificial rain because Agl
- A is easy to synthesize
- B has crystal structure similar to ice
- C is insoluble in water
- D is easy to spray at high altitude
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) has crystal structure similar to ice
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Silver iodide has similar crystal structure to ice. So, it is used for producing artificial rain. This procedure is called 'Cloud seeding.'
