The paper reports results of the X-ray diffraction structural studies of liquid 1-methylnaphthalene, C_{10}H_{7}-CH_{3} at 293 K, using Mo K_{α} radiation of the wavelength λ=0.71069 A. The interpretation of the results was carried out using the reduction method of Blum and Narten. Experimental distribution of X-ray scattered intensity was compared with theoretical results predicted for a proposed model of 1-methylnaphthalene molecule. The electron-density radial-distribution function was calculated and some intra- and intermolecular distances in liquid 1-methylnaphthalene were determined. The structural data obtainable by X-ray analysis for liquid 1-methylnaphthalene are discussed. X-ray structural analysis was applied to determine the packing coefficient of 1-methylnaphthalene molecules. The electron-density radial-distribution function $4πr^{2} ∑^{n}_{j,k}\overline{K}_{j}[ρ_{k}(r) — ρ_{0}]$ was calculated and some intra- and intermolecular distances in liquid 1-methylnaphthalene were determined. The structural data obtainable by X-ray analysis for liquid 1-methylnaphthalene are discussed. X-ray structural analysis was applied to determine the packing coefficient of 1-methylnaphthalene molecules.
