Analysis of Structure of Sodium Chloride and Polystyrene Using X-Ray Diffration

UFUG 1302

Location:

CL 1 Dalton Lab

Instructor:

Yunjuan, Zhang

Instructions:

In this experiment we will record the diffraction peaks of an ionic solid (sodium chloride) and an organic polymer (polystyrene) by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Analysis of the data provides insight to the nature of the compounds themselves.
