Identify the instrument used to find crystal structure from following:

A X-ray diffractometer
B UV-Visible spectrophotometer
C Scanning electron microscope
D Transmission electron microscope

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) X-ray diffractometer

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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.

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.
