White Rainbows. Rainbows can even come in the color of white. This type of rainbow is also called a cloud bow and a fog bow. The reason for these names is that [it] is produced by clouds of fog or raindrops. This type of rainbow appears as a white hyperbola shaped rainbow above horizontal clouds of moisture.

Record number: 15, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Because elements that are close to each other in the Periodic Table differ considerably in their neutron-scattering ability, neutron diffraction is capable of distinguishing between them. For example, carbon nitrogen, and oxygen atoms can be readily identified by neutron diffraction, where as they appear almost identical by the x-ray method. More accurate determination of the bond lengths of light atoms and distribution of molecular bonding electrons is also possible. Details of molecular structure that can only be inferred by other techniques can often be observed directly by neutron diffraction. Investigations using this method include hydrogen bonding, so-called metal cluster compounds (C.H.M relationships) and electronic charge distributions. 2, record 15, English, - neutron%20diffraction
