1. Neutrons as well as electrons and x-rays can be used to obtain information about molecular structure through diffraction patterns. What must the velocity of a neutron be for its de Broglie wavelength to be about five times smaller than a bond length? How does this velocity compare (bigger, smaller, or the same) if electrons were diffracted? A typical bond length for C-C is 1.54Å (1.54 x 10-1ºm).
