The radius of an atom can only be found by measuring the distance between the nuclei of two touching atoms, and then halving that distance. As you can see from the diagrams, the same atom could be found to have a different radius depending on what was around it. The left hand diagram shows bonded atoms.
Subtract the radius of one of the atoms from the total distance between the nuclei if the bond is ionic. For example, if the radius of one of the atoms is 60 pm, and the distance between the nuclei of the two atoms is 160 pm, the radius of the other atom is 100 pm.
