Which from following instruments is used to determine the crystal structure?

  1. A Scanning electron microscope
  2. B FTIR spectrophotometer
  3. C X-ray diffractometer
  4. D Transmission electron microscope
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) X-ray diffractometer

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

X-ray crystallography is used to identify the molecular and atomic structure of the crystal. The crystal diffracts the incident \(\mathrm{X}\)-ray beam. By measuring the intensities and angle of these diffracted beams, the molecular structure of the crystal can be evaluated. Instrument is known as X-ray diffractometer.
