Question

Which is bigger metallic radius or covalent radius?

Answer 1

Answer:

The metallic radii of atoms is greater than the corresponding covalent radii of those metals

Answer 2

Answer:

• Metallic radii are measured as the distance between two metal atoms bonded with a single bond. ... Thus the metal ions are touching the electrons and are not like overlapping which is the case of covalent radii. Because of this the metallic radii of atoms is greater than the corresponding covalent radii of those metals.
