State whether the following is true or false.
X-ray fluorescence tells you which crystalline phases are present in a sample.

  • A.True only at large scales
  • B.False only at small scales
  • C.True
  • D.False

Answer: D

It reports the elements and their proportions but says nothing about how they are arranged. A sample of kaolinite and one of a mechanical mixture of the same oxides would give the same fluorescence result and quite different diffraction patterns.
