No. The ions of a salt as simple as NaCl are smaller than the wavelength of any visible liqht; X-rays are needed to determine lattice spacing.

What is electrical anharmonicity?

Electrical anharmonicity refers to a term in the potential energy of a crystal which is linear in the externally applied electric field amplitude, and quadratic in lattice displacement coordinates. As such, it gives a dielectric polariztion which is quadratic in the lattice coordinates. Such an interaction term of lattice and external field allows the direct absorption of photons by two-phonon states of the crystal.


How are cleavage and fracture similar?

Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along flat planar surfaces as determined by the structure of its crystal lattice. Fracture is the way a mineral breaks other than along a cleavage plane. They both describe a way a mineral can break.


Why does a solute depress the freezing point of a solution?

A solute depresses the freezing point of a solution because the solute can not fit perfectly into the crystal lattice of the solid solvent. The normal crystal lattice is the lowest energy arrangement of the molecules or ions of the solid solvent. Therefore, the disordered lattice of a solvent freezing in the presence of a solute has at least slightly higher energy than the lattice of a solid pure solvent and requires at least a slightly lower temperature to solidify.


Is charcoal a rock?

No. Charcoal is made up of mostly carbon atoms which are not arranged in a crystal lattice. Diamond and graphite are examples of carbon atoms arranged in a lattice. Charcoal has been created from fires for millions of years and can be in rocks.

From SAED pattern from TEM how you determined which element is present?

you have to measure the distance and angles between the main point and the surrounding pattern from the diffraction you create. Each crystal has its own structure (BCC, FCC, HCP, etc...) and each element in the crystal structure determines the lattice spacing....
