NEET Chemistry Atomic Radius MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 11
If the bond distance in a diatomic molecule is 256 pm, what is the covalent radius of the atom assuming the atoms are identical?
A
128 pm
B
256 pm
C
512 pm
D
64 pm
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The covalent radius is estimated as half of the bond distance in a diatomic molecule, thus it would be 256 pm / 2 = 128 pm.
