I'm still confuse on using the equation about atomic scattering factor, f = a*e^(-b+((sin(theta)/lamda)^2) + c (general equation),

where sin(theta)/lamda = 1/2d = 1/(2*(sqrt(a^2/(h^2 + k^2 +l^2)))), so this term is dependent on the plane.
which you will used to find the Intensity of crystals in a certain plane. I = F^2 (disregard multiplicity factor, absorption and etc.), F = f*cos(2pi(hx + ky + lz)) (i omitted the isine part)

so given a compound NaCl where a, b and c are also given, i try to so solve I in 111 plane.

first i solve fNa and fCl using the equation above, this gives 26.30, and 23.71 respectively, and substitute to the equation of intensity i got I(NaCl)=106.44, but when I'm try to check using related literature, some website (http://pd.chem.ucl.ac.uk/pdnn/diff2/structf.htm) and its jcpds, my answer was wrong so please enlighten me about this matter.

constant i used:
for Na:
a1Na=3.2565;b1Na=2.6671;a2Na=23.9362;b2Na=6.1153;a3Na=1.3998;b3Na=0.2001;a4Na=1.0032;b4Na=14.039;c1Na=0.404;
for Cl:
a1Cl=18.2915;b1Cl=0.0066; a2Cl=17.604; b2Cl=1.1717;a3Cl=6.5337;b3Cl=19.5424;a4Cl=2.3386;b4Cl=60.4486;c1Cl=-16.378;

The formula for the atomic (or ionic) scattering factor given here

http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?sh0059

is

<br /> f(s) = \sum\limits_{i=1}^{4}a_i \exp(-b_i s^2) +c \\<br /> s = \sin(\theta)/\lambda = Q/4\pi = 1/2d<br />

(you have a "+" which is probably a typo)

You should use the scattering factors for the ions, Na+ and Cl-

The constants given in the paper look a bit different from yours, but I have not checked every one of them.
 
Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
