Question

The internuclear distance in HCL is 136pm. If the CL-CL bond length in CL2 is 198pm. Then estimate the covalent radius of hydrogen atom.​could you'll answer fast

Answer 1

ok this quition is not coming to me. but for you I am doing example you get an idea how to do

The inter nuclear distance in H

2

and Cl

2

molecules are 74 & 198 pm. respectively.The bond length of HCl may be:

[EN of H = 2.1 Cl = 3.0]

ANSWER

r

H

2

=74pm/2=37pm

r

Cl

2

=198pm/2=99pm

∴ Bond length of HCl=r

H

2

+r

Cl

2

=37+99=136pm
