Answer 1

Answer:

Potassium is a metal and it cannot from covalent bond. Hence, it cannot have covalent radius. It can form ion and can possess ionic radius. The ionic radius formed will be smaller than the metallic radius since the ion formed will be smaller than the metal atom.

Answer 2

Answer:

2.03 A°

Explanation:

because metallic radius is always greater than covalent
