A molecule of chlorine has two atoms in it. From the question the atoms has 0.194 so for you to have the atomic radius( radius of one of the atoms) you need to divide it by 2. That is 0.194/2 = 0.097.
yea that is correct atomic radius; distance btw the nucleus divided by 2
Already, we know that measurements of atom starts from the nuclei (Centre) of the atom.
So therefore, Atomic radius is the distance measured from the center (Nucleus) to the outermost shell of the atom.
And according to the question, it is still asking the same thing from you....,that.....The distance between the nuclei of chlorine atoms in a chlorine molecule is 0.194. The atomic radius of chlorine atom is ______, So therefore,it is still the same thing as the question, because the answer is already known, which is actually given initially to be 0.194
Thanks and you can add your own knowledge of understanding because no man is an island of knowledge...
a is the answer, definition for atomic radius s the average of the internucleic distance between two atoms forming a molecules. eg 02,h2 cl2 i2
To calculate the atomic radius of a chlorine atom, you need to subtract the distance between the nuclei of two chlorine atoms (0.194 mm) from the distance between the nuclei of two chlorine molecules (the bond length of a chlorine molecule). So, the atomic radius of a chlorine atom is 0.194 mm - 0.037 mm, or 0.157 mm. The atomic radius of an atom is equal to half of the distance between the nuclei of two atoms. So, the atomic radius of a chlorine atom would be 0.0785 mm
The question said 0.194 but in the solution given; it states "0.197" instead of 0.194/2
