Question

Atomic radii of fluorine and neon in Angstrom units are respectively given by:

• A. $0.72,1.60$
• B. $1.60,1.60$
• C. $0.72,0.72$
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A $0.72,1.60$

The correct answer is $0.72,1.60$.

This is because noble gases have van der Waals radii which is greater than the covalent radii of Fluorine.
