The covalent radius of an element is _ of the single bond length between two similar atoms covalently bonded in a molecule.
Correct answer: C. Half
- A. One third
- B. One fourth
- C. Half
- D. Quarter
Explanation
The covalent radius is defined as:"Half of the single bond length between two similar atoms covalently bonded in a molecule".For instance, if the bond length between two covalently bonded hydrogen atoms is 75.4, then its covalent radius will be 37.7 pm.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
