Model used for teaching by WH Bragg C016 / 3687
Salt. A model of the atomic structure of crystalline common salt (sodium chloride). This shows the cubic structure of alternating sodium and chlorine atoms. The model was used as a teaching aid by Sir William H Bragg in the 1920s and 1930s. Bragg was appointed Fullerian Professor of Chemistry at the Royal Institution in 1923 and used such models to teach the theory of x-ray diffraction. The model is preserved at the Royal Institution

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artefact from the 20th century - a model used for teaching by the esteemed scientist WH Bragg. Known as C016 / 3687, this intricate structure represents the atomic arrangement of crystalline common salt, specifically sodium chloride. The model vividly illustrates the cubic nature of this crystal, with alternating sodium and chlorine atoms forming its regular pattern. Sir William H Bragg, who held the prestigious position of Fullerian Professor of Chemistry at the Royal Institution starting in 1923, employed such models to educate students on x-ray diffraction theory during the 1920s and 1930s. Preserved within the hallowed halls of London's Royal Institution, this historical object serves as a testament to Bragg's innovative teaching methods and his contributions to scientific education. Its presence in an exhibition or museum setting offers visitors a unique opportunity to delve into both chemistry history and crystallography. With its square-shaped design reminiscent of a cube, this model encapsulates not only scientific knowledge but also aesthetic appeal. As viewers gaze upon it, they are transported back in time to witness how scientists like Bragg utilized tangible aids to convey complex concepts. Thanks to Science Photo Library's collaboration with The Royal Institution of Great Britain, admirers can now own a high-quality print that immortalizes this significant piece of scientific heritage.
