How come diamonds do not show up on x-rays?

Answer 1

Diamonds do show up on X-rays as we find out the lattice structure of materials by X-ray diffraction.

X-rays are diffracted by the atoms within a crystal lattice and the scattering angle is measured to give a precise measurement regarding the spacing in the lattice between the atoms.

Answer 2

Opacity to X-rays is very sensitive to atomic number. Diamonds are made of carbon, which has a relativity low atomic number of 6. X-ray machines in hospitals and airports and such are usually designed with an x-ray photon energy high enough so that low atomic number things like carbon and the oxygen in water (8) are fairly transparent so that things like the calcium in bones and metal in guns shows up more clearly. Also remember that most diamonds are pretty small.

Answer 3

Your question is not clear? Which diamonds don't show up on which x-rays? All objects are transparent to x-rays if the frequency of the x-rays is high and getting enough contrast is a matter of adjusting the voltage and current etc.

I think there should be more promos of my own opinion as if you don't want to it is okay but i think more promo will make the best shows ever. Other than that i think it is very good as far as story lines are they are great and the whole thing is great. WQ: Should Natalya win the Diva's Championship one day? Yes she should She is the most talented diva on the whole WWE Roster. She deserves to be the Diva's Champion more than anybody else. Her Finisher and her moves are fantastic a little more better on mic if she does all that she can be the most perfect diva ever Michelle McCool and Layla don't even deserve the titles... the only way they have the title of Michelle and Undertaker. Natalya is a future diva champion! WQ2: I like the Beautiful people much more They got everything a diva needs from the looks to the moves to the charisma. Lay-Cool are just copies.

if they dont then how do we know about its crystal structures and lattices
