Abstract: | Microtopography of {100}, {110}, {111}, and {210} surfaces of sodium chlorate crystals etched in various solvents has been studied by optical microscopy. It has been established that etch pits formed on left- and right-handed crystals are chiral, and directions of dissolution steps reveal bond chains of the structure. |
