What is meant by the atomic radius? Definition and explanation ...
As atomic radius In general, the distance between the atomic nucleus and the electron cloud can be defined. All values for the atomic radius can therefore at best be approximate values, because the distance between the nucleus and the outermost electron in the electron shell is practically barely measurable. Atoms are not unique 'entities', with a clearly defined beginning and end.
The information on the atomic radii (in pikometers with the factor 10-12) of the respective chemical elements vary z.T. very clearly. The table below does not, therefore, claim to be universally valid.
The final distance of the atomic radius is, however, also strongly dependent on the definition. Therefore one distinguishes between the following radii in chemistry:
ionic radius: half the distance between two atoms in an ionic bond.
Bohr radius: Distance between proton and electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state (state with the lowest possible energy).
Covalent radius: half the distance between two covalently bonded atoms of the same element.
Metallic radius: half the distance between two atoms in a metallic bond.
Van der Waals radius: Distance between atomic nucleus and atomic shell in an imaginary imaginary sphere.
