Explanation:
A metal lattice consists of positive kernels or metal ions arranged in a definite pattern in a sea of mobile valence electron.
Each metal ion is simultaneously attracted by a number of mobile electrons. Force of attraction between the mobile electrons and the positive kernels are called the metallic bond.
Metallic radius is one half of the internuclear distance between the two adjacent metal ions in the metallic lattice. In the metallic lattice, the valence electrons are mobile, therefore they are only weakly attracted by metal ions.
In a covalent bond, the atoms are strongly attracted by the nuclei of two atoms.
Thus a metallic radius is always larger than its covalent radius.
Hope this helps mate.
