Option: 4

Covalent radius 


Answers (1)

As we have learned

Covalent Radius -

It is one half of the distance between the nuclei of the two covalently bonded like atoms in a homo diatomic molecule is called the covalent radius of that atom.

r_{c}=\frac{1}{2}[Bond\:\:length] 

-

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thus, the covalent radius is half of the distance between two covalently bonded atoms in a diatomic molecule.

Therefore, Option(4) is correct
