The distance between the nuclei of chlorine atoms in a chlorine molecule is 0.194 mm. The atomic radius of chlorine atom is
-
0.097 mm
- 0.194 mm
- 0.388 mm
- 2.388 mm
The correct answer is: A
Explanation
To determine the atomic radius, just divide the distance between the nuclei of the chlorine atoms by 2. i.e 0.197 / 2 = 0.097mm
