You can tell a hydrated crystal is dry by conducting a weight measurement before and after drying. A decrease in weight indicates that water has been removed. Additionally, the crystal may appear opaque or have a different color when hydrated, which can change back to its original appearance when dry.


What does the shape of the crystal tell us about its internal structure?

The shape of a crystal is determined by the arrangement of atoms and molecules within the crystal lattice. Different crystal structures exhibit unique geometric shapes due to the repeating pattern of atomic arrangement. By studying the external geometry of a crystal, scientists can infer information about its internal atomic structure, such as bond angles, symmetry elements, and unit cell dimensions.


What does XRD tell us?

XRD (X-ray diffraction) is a technique used to analyze the crystallographic structure of materials. It provides information on the crystal structure, phase composition, and crystallite size of a sample, helping to identify the different phases present in the material and their arrangement in the crystal lattice.
