  2. Ionic radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionic_radius

    Nevertheless, ionic radius values are sufficiently transferable to allow periodic trends to be recognized. As with other types of atomic radius, ionic radii increase on descending a group. Ionic size (for the same ion) also increases with increasing coordination number, and an ion in a high-spin state will be larger than the same ion in a low ...

  3. Atomic radii of the elements (data page) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_radii_of_the...

    The Bohr radius is consequently known as the "atomic unit of length". It is often denoted by a 0 and is approximately 53 pm. Hence, the values of atomic radii given here in picometers can be converted to atomic units by dividing by 53, to the level of accuracy of the data given in this table. Atomic radii up to zinc (30)

  4. Atomic radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_radius

    Ionic radius: the nominal radius of the ions of an element in a specific ionization state, deduced from the spacing of atomic nuclei in crystalline salts that include that ion. In principle, the spacing between two adjacent oppositely charged ions (the length of the ionic bond between them) should equal the sum of their ionic radii.

  5. Cation-anion radius ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cation-anion_radius_ratio

    In condensed matter physics and inorganic chemistry, the cation-anion radius ratio can be used to predict the crystal structure of an ionic compound based on the relative size of its atoms. It is defined as the ratio of the ionic radius of the positively charged cation to the ionic radius of the negatively charged anion in a cation-anion compound.

  6. Periodic trends - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_trends

    The atomic radius is half of the distance between two nuclei of two atoms. The atomic radius is the distance from the atomic nucleus to the outermost electron orbital in an atom . In general, the atomic radius decreases as we move from left-to-right in a period , and it increases when we go down a group .

  7. Ion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion

    Forming an ionic bond, Li and F become Li + and F − ions. An ion (/ ˈ aɪ. ɒ n,-ən /) [1] is an atom or molecule with a net electrical charge. The charge of an electron is considered to be negative by convention and this charge is equal and opposite to the charge of a proton, which is considered to be positive by convention. The net charge ...

  8. Actinide contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actinoid_contraction

    A decrease in atomic radii can be observed across the 5f elements from atomic number 89, actinium, to 102, nobelium. This results in smaller than otherwise expected atomic radii and ionic radii for the subsequent d-block elements starting with 103, lawrencium .

  9. van der Waals radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waals_radius

    The van der Waals radius, r w, of an atom is the radius of an imaginary hard sphere representing the distance of closest approach for another atom. It is named after Johannes Diderik van der Waals, winner of the 1910 Nobel Prize in Physics, as he was the first to recognise that atoms were not simply points and to demonstrate the physical consequences of their size through the van der Waals ...
