Question

How to find atomic radius of an element ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Atomic radius is generally stated as being the total distance from an atom’s nucleus to the outermost orbital of electron.

In simpler terms, it can be defined as something similar to the radius of a circle, where the center of the circle is the nucleus and the outer edge of the circle is the outermost orbital of electron.

Divide the distance between the nuclei of the atoms by two if the bond is covalent.

For example, if you know the distance between the nuclei of two covalently bonded atoms is 100 picometers (pm), the radius of each individual atom is 50 pm.
