Chemistry · CHEMICAL BONDING AND MOLECULAR STRUCTURE
हिन्दीThe bond length in an \( \text{H}_2 \) molecule is \( 74\text{ pm} \). What is the covalent radius of a hydrogen atom based on this homonuclear diatomic bond length?
Correct answer · Option 2
\( 37\text{ pm} \)
Explanation
Covalent radius is half the internuclear distance of a single covalent bond in a homonuclear molecule: r = 74 pm / 2 = 37 pm.
