Solution
The correct option is B False
Do you know how small is the size of an atom?
Its very small. Very very small.
It is in the range of 10−10 m is radius.
Therefore determination of atomic radius of an atom is very difficult because it is very small and electons surrounding the atom does not have a sharp boundary.
That's why, we always try to estimate the covalent radius.
Generally Noblegases do not react.
That's why they are monoatomic Being monoatomic and non-reactive, they do not have covalent radii. van der Waal's radii is estimated for noble gases, that is why their values are very large.
