Covalent Radius

One half of the distance between nuclei of two covalently bonded atoms of same element in a molecule is called as covalent radius. Covalent radius is atomic radius of an element whose electrons are in covalent bond.

Points To Remember:

Covalent radius of an element will increase in the same pattern as that of atomic radius because bigger the radius, distance between two nucleus will also be bigger.
