Answer:
The covalent radius of an element is considered to be one half of the covalent bond distance of a molecule where the atoms concerned are participating in single bonding. In other words, It may be defined as one-half of the distance between the centers of the nuclei of two similar atoms bonded by a single covalent bond.

Answer:
The covalent radius, rcov, is a measure of the size of an atom that forms part of one covalent bond. It is usually measured either in picometres or angstroms, with 1 Å = 100 pm. In principle, the sum of the two covalent radii should equal the covalent bond length between two atoms, R = r + r.
