SUMMARY

The interplanar spacing of NaCl and KCl crystals is a critical parameter in crystallography. NaCl has an interplanar spacing of approximately 2.82 Å for the (100) plane, while KCl exhibits an interplanar spacing of about 2.74 Å for the same plane. These values are essential for students and researchers in physical sciences, particularly in materials science and solid-state physics. Access to a reliable data book is recommended for precise measurements and further exploration.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of crystallography principles
  • Familiarity with X-ray diffraction techniques
  • Knowledge of solid-state chemistry
  • Access to crystallographic data books
NEXT STEPS
  • Research X-ray diffraction methods for determining interplanar spacing
  • Explore the properties of ionic crystals like NaCl and KCl
  • Study the implications of interplanar spacing on material properties
  • Investigate the use of crystallographic databases for accurate measurements
USEFUL FOR

Students and researchers in physical sciences, crystallographers, and materials scientists seeking to understand the structural properties of ionic crystals.

Make an effort and look it up in a data book. If you have need of these data - i.e. you're presumably doing a physical science course - you'll have access to these materials.
