How Structures are Experimentally Determined

    The basic principle behind the method for determining molecular structure hinges around determining the length between the atoms of a molecule. Once this data is known, determination of shape is simply a puzzle: all the pieces need to be put together in a way that satisfies all of the experimentally determined guidelines. The key is remembering that the model must occupy 3 dimensions, as molecules do.
