Question

Vanderwill radius of chlorine is grater than covalent radius chlorine

Answer 1

Answer:

The covalent radius of chlorine is half the distance (one-half AB or A′B′) between two chlorine nuclei in the same molecule. This is smaller than the van der Waals radius because of the covalent bond in each Cl2 molecule.

Answer 2

Explanation:

${ \huge{ \texttt{ \fcolorbox{lightgreen}{black}{Aɳʂɯҽr}}}}$

Consequently, vander Waals' radii are always larger than covalent radii. For example, covalent radius of chlorine is 99 pm whereas vander Waal's radius of chlorine is 180 pm.
