The covalent radius in a chlorine molecule and van der Waal’s radius between chlorine molecules respectively can be ________ & _________

The covalent radius in a chlorine molecule and van der Waal’s radius between chlorine molecules respectively can be ________ & _________ Correct Answer 99pm, 198pm

The half of the distance between two covalently bonded similar atoms in the same molecule is called covalent radius, whereas the half of the distance between two similar atoms of different molecules in a solid is known as van der Waal’s radius. Therefore covalent radius is smaller than the van der Waal’s radius.
