About this document
Atomic Radii in Crystals Explained by Chelsea Clark is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document presents a set of empirical atomic radii for elements that can approximate the sum of the radii of two atoms forming a bond in crystals and molecules. The radii were refined from a previous set suggested by Bragg in 1920 by considering bond distances in over 1200 crystal structures. The radii agree well with calculated radii from relativistic self-consistent field calculations, with an average deviation of about 0.12 Angstroms. The radii can be used to estimate distances for covalent, metallic,
