Question

Define vanderwaal radius

Answer 1

$\underline{\underline{\Huge\mathfrak{Answer-: }}}$

★$\bold{Van\: der\: Waal's\: radius}$

●It is defined as one-half the distance between the nuclei of two identical non-bonded isolated atoms or two adjacent identical atoms belonging to two neighbouring molecules of an element in the solid state.

●The magnitude of the van der Waals radii depends upon the packing of the atoms when the element is in the solid state.

Answer 2

✴ANSWER

✔VANDERWAAL RADIUS

✳The Van der Waals radius is equal to one half the distance between two unbonded atoms when the electrostatic forces between them are balanced. ... The distance reflects the action of intermolecular forces (e.g., dipole-dipole and dispersion forces) and is related to van der Waals
