Question

What is covalent radius? Calculate covalent radius of Cl2 atom.
​

Answer 1

Covelent radius of chlorine is half of bond length =1.98/2

=0.99

                                             OR

Answer: The covalent radius of chlorine atom is  

Explanation:

Covalent radius is defined as the distance of electron from outermost orbital to the center of atom.

To calculate the covalent radius of an atom for the given bond length, we use the equation:

We are given:

Covalent bond length of chlorine molecule =  

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the covalent radius of chlorine atom is
