CHEM 2124 - CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA

This course explores Euclid’s Book XIII, delving into the construction of the five regular Platonic solids, and examining Euler’s formula. It then shifts to the study of crystals—solids with a regularly repeating arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules in three dimensions, and highlights the significance of crystal structures in describing organized layouts and enabling applications in X-ray, neutron, and electron diffraction. The course integrates modeling and experimental dialectic laboratory experiences for a comprehensive grasp of crystallography’s theoretical and practical aspects.
