Question

what is metallic radius?

Answer 1

Metallic radius is defined as one-half of the distance between the two adjacent metal ions in the metallic lattice. This radius depends on the nature of the atom as well as its environment—specifically, on the coordination number (CN), which in turn depends on the temperature and applied pressure.

Answer 2

Answer:

metallic radius is defined as one-half of the distance between the nuclei of two atoms in crystal or between two adjacent metal ions in the metallic lattice. Metallic radii: - decrease across the period due to increase in the effective nuclear charge.
