Physics

Using powder X-ray diffraction to analyse a metal compound, asimple pattern of peaks resulted, where the largest peak existed atan angle of 2θ= 19.8°. However, when a similar sample was analysedthat contained a metallic impurity, this 2θ value became 22.4°.What does this suggest is happening to the crystal lattice andwhy?
