Which from following instruments is used to determine the crystal structure?
- A Scanning electron microscope
- B FTIR spectrophotometer
- C X-ray diffractometer
- D Transmission electron microscope
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.
