Which one of the following is correctly shown ?
Covalent radius > metallic radius > vanderwaal's radius
metallic radius > vanderwaal's radius > Covalent radius
metallic radius > covalent radius > vanderwaal's radius
vanderwaal's radius > metallic radius > covalent radius
Metallic Radius -
Metal atoms are assumed to be closely packed spheres that are considered to touch one another in metallic crystals.Metallic radius > covalent radius.
Vaderwaal's radius is the distance between 2 similar atoms, hence it is largest than the metallic and covalent radius.
