हिन्दीFor a chlorine molecule (\( \text{Cl}_2 \)), the covalent radius and van der Waals radius are respectively:
Correct answer · Option 2
\( 99\text{ pm} \) and \( 180\text{ pm} \)
Explanation
The covalent radius of chlorine is half the bond distance (\( 198/2 = 99\text{ pm} \)) and the van der Waals radius is half the non-bonded internuclear distance (\( 360/2 = 180\text{ pm} \)).
