The Wonderballs radius of an element is larger than its co-connective radius
Answers
Explanation:
Atomic radius:
The van der Waals radius and the covalent radius actually deal with two different situations.
The former is used when dealing with atoms that are not bonded, and the latter is used for atoms that are covalently bonded.
The main reason for why the van der Waals radius is greater than the covalent radius is that it does not take into account overlap.
To determine the van der Waals radius of an element, you need to get two atoms that belong to that element and get them as close as possible to each other.
At this point, you measure the internuclear distance, i.e. the distance between their two nuclei, and divide it by 2.
Remember, these atoms are not bonded, they are just very, very close to each other - as close as possible - but not overlapping!
