Optical Properties of Quasicrystals: Negative Refraction Quasicrystals‚ or crystals that display the unusual property of non-periodicity (while remaining ordered)‚ were discovered in the 1980s by Dan Shechtman. A highly controversial topic‚ Shechtman did not produce a paper describing them for over two years after their discovery. However‚ within the past 30 years‚ the scientific community has come to accept them‚ reproduce them for study‚ and even award Dan Shechtman with a Nobel Prize for their

reactions are often contaminated with impurities. One method for purifying chemicals‚ recrystallization‚ takes advantage of the differences in the solubilities of the desired products and the impurities and the tendency for the slow formation of crystals to exclude impurities from the crystalline solid.

During the synthesis of acetaminophen‚ it is necessary to dissolve all solid material‚ and heat the reaction at a high enough temperature and for a long enough time period to ensure completion. Cooling the mixture in an ice bath ensures that all crystals have formed‚ and drying removes any remaining solvent. The synthesis of acetaminophen does not result in a pure product‚ so recrystallization is necessary to purify the substance. During recrystallization‚ it is important to dissolve all

Because chemists always want to get the chemicals they get as pure as possible. And a good way to purify chemicals is to make crystals of them. When they are in solutions you can have all sort of impunities but when they form crystals the crystals contain much purer compounds than in the solution and the impurities are left in the solution. generally the crystal is a very precise arrangement of molecules all the same fitting together like pieces and some sort of construction toy ‚the impurity
