Atomic Radius Comparison |
 |
This application allows you to compare the relative atomic radii of different elements. Four different atomic radii are available: Atomic Radius, Bohr Atomic Radius, Covalent Radius and the van der Waals Radius. The radii are measured in picometres (pm). One picometre is equal to 10-12 (one trillionth) of a metre. |

|
Each element's atomic radius is represented by a coloured disc. It is worth knowing that the boundaries of an atom aren't as clearly defined as this display would imply. |
 |
Clicking on the element name next to the coloured square that represents that element will open the relative Data Window. |
