Covalent vadive To —_ Covalent vadive may be defined as half of the dictance botweon ne centres of the nuclei of two similar alos bonded by a Single Covalent bond. — example: Distance between two #-atomns ty Hy moleculeg has been found 10 be eaual tO Oma 4.

So, n= t = da_, Vander waalls yadiue Of at’ Nader waa) 2 akon is 3-¢4° = sa 2 a 9. She metallic vadine of au atom ig always larger than its Covalent yadius — why > : Ans—> Because metallic bond is weaker than Covalent bond wt example tm (Ol Na)= (ace and that of y ‘nt State) — Isqye / S*elege (in Hs “oP. ?. Covalent Yadiug of an atom je Shorter than ifs Vandeywaal'¢ Yadiug — why » ANS > Because the formation of covalent bond Involves OuerapPing of atomic orbitals for which i distance between Ter hue leay +wo Covalently bonded atoms the inter nuclear distance is less than between two hou- bow, * key concept: ded atome. ‘Covalent < Vmetallie Z Yvander waa} =e ce defined as the distance between “he nuclew ¢ of tho jong aad +he pot upto whieh the nucleug exerts its force on the electron cloud ofthe ion. Q. the yvadiug of cation is always smaller than that of the Neutral atom— explain. Ans—> with the vemoval of electrons trom an atom, Zeff incveases and Vadius detreases. For example radius of Na= (544° 8 joe vadiue of Nak ise 0.958", 9. the radius of Chlovine atom is 0.594° but ionic radius of Cl ts |-844 — explain. AN$—> el + —7 ie With the addition of ons extra electron, Zep of el becomes lesser than Zeft of cd and thus size of A becomes 9reater than du atom- 9. the vadius of amon is always greater than that of the neutral atom — oxblain.
