X-ray crystallography is the experimental technique that determines the arrangement of atoms within a crystal, in order to elucidate the crystal structure of the crystal. The collected diffraction data are analyzed to produce a three-dimensional picture of the density of electrons within the crystal. From this, the mean positions of the atoms in the crystal can be determined, as well as their chemical bonds, their disorder and various other information.
