Bragg's model of X ray diffraction

 Bragg's model of X ray diffraction :

According to Bragg's, a crystal which is made up of series of equally spaced atomic planes, can be treated as a transmission grating and a reflection grating as well. When X-rays are incident on a crystal face, some of the rays will pass undeflected and some other rays will penetrate into the crystal and strick the atoms in successive planes. From each of these plans the X-rays are reflected (i.e., X-rays strick with electrons in the atoms of the structural units and undergo a change in direction), in all directions. For the formation of an intense diffraction pattern in any direction the condition is that the angle of incidence should be equal the angle of reflection of the beam for the direction studied. 
             Bragg's equation can be applied either to the reflection or the diffraction experiment. In the case of reflection from the crystal surface, the angle ∅ stands for the angle between the crystal surface and the duration of incident X-rays. In the case of diffraction of X-rays on passing through the crystal ∅ is one half of the angle between the diffracted beam and the direction of the undeflected incident beam. The angle 2∅ is called the diffraction angle. Thus, the inter planer distance, d may be found either by the reflector or the diffraction of X-rays.

Siemens Ozoniser:  This Ozoniser consist of two co-axial glass tubes fused together at one end. The outer side of the outer glass tube and the inner side of the inner glass tube are finally coated with tin foils as shown in the figure given below.  (Siemens Ozoniser)->2                                                     (Siemens Ozoniser)->1 These tin foil are connected  to the induction coil for supply of silent electric discharge. Pure and dry oxygen gas is passed into the apparatus through annular space. The gas is then subjected to the action of silent electric discharge where oxygen gets converted into ozone. The ozonised oxygen then comes out  of the apparatus through the outlet of the Ozoniser. (Siemens Ozoniser)->2

Rutile structure

Rutile structure: The radius radio is in the range 0.73 to 0.41. in rutile (TiO²) each Ti⁴+ ion is octahedrally surrounded by six O²- ions whereas each other O²- ion is surrounded by only three Ti⁴+ ions arranged at the tree corners of a plane triangle. The Co-ordination number of Ti⁴+ and O²+ ions are 6 and 3, respectively. It is not exactly a close packed structure. Ti⁴+ ions in rutile may however, be considered as forming a sufficiently distorted body centred cubic lattice.           Example  compounds  having radius ratio below 0.41 are SiO² and BeF² but these are only a few. The Co-ordination number of Si⁴+ and Be²+ is four and that of O²- is two. However, these are appreciably co-valent.

What are F - Block Elements - F - block elements are consist of Lanthanides and Actinides. In Lanthanides, they are 14 element immediately following Lanthanum (57) from cerium (58) to lutecium (71) . These 14 element are called Lanthanides . These Lanthanides belong to first inner transition series .           In Actinides , these are also 14 elements immediately following Actinium (89) starting from Thorium (90) to lawrencium (103) . The element from Th (90) to Lr (103) are called Actinides . They belong to second inner transition series.
