Chemical Applications of X-ray Charge-Density Analysis

As X-ray scattering by electrons is much stronger than that of the nuclei, intensities of scattered X-rays are almost exclusively determined by the distribution of the electrons. Thus, X-ray diffraction is a priori a tool for the determination of electron distribution in solids.
