Question

give an example of covalent radius and vander waals radius​

Answer 1

Explanation:

molecules of an element in the solid state, vander Waal's radii are determined by X-ray diffraction method. ... For example, covalent radius of chlorine is 99 pm whereas vander Waal's radius of chlorine is 180 pm.

Answer 2

Answer:

Covalent radius is half of the internuclear separation between the nuclei of two single-bonded atoms of the same species (homonuclear). While van der Waals radius is used to define half of the distance between the closest approach of two non-bonded atoms of a given element.
