Q1. An x-ray diffractometer recording for an element that has either the BCC or the FCC crystal
structure shows diffraction peaks at the following 20 angles: 40, 58, 73, 86.8, 100.4, and 114.7. The
wavelength of the x-ray beam used was 0.154 nm.
(a) Determine the cubic structure of the element.
(b) Determine the lattice constant of the element.
(c) Identify the element.

For this ratio, the crystal structure corresponds to BCC. If the ratio is 0.75, then the
crystal structure is FCC.

The lattice constant of tungsten is 0.316 nm which is very close to the given lattice
constant. Hence, the element is tungsten.
