    017 Atomic Radii

    Atomic radii values are obtained by making arbitrary choices and measuring distances between atoms in chemical compounds. For nonmetallic atoms that do not form diatomic molecules, atomic radii are estimated from their covalent compounds, while metallic radii are obtained from half the distance between metal atoms in solid crystals. Atomic radii generally decrease across a period as the effective nuclear charge increases due to greater shielding by inner electron shells.

    Atomic Radii

    Just as the size of an orbital cannot be


    specified exactly, neither can the size of an
    atom.
    We must make some arbitrary
    choices to obtain values for atomic radii.
    (p95, 3)
    These values can be obtained by measuring
    the distances between atoms in chemical
    compounds. (p95, 3)

    Distance of BrBr = 2r = 228 pm,


    Radius = r = 114 pm (covalent atomic radii)

    Atomic Radii
    For nonmetallic atoms that do not form
    diatomic molecules, the atomic radii are
    estimated from their various covalent
    compounds. (p95, 4)
    The radii for metal atoms (called metallic
    radii) are obtained from half the distance
    between metal atoms in solid metal crystals.
