thank you grandpa and Borek, i briefly looked at the atomic radius in wikipedia yesterday. i know that scientists do not use exact definition of what they mean when they use term "atomic radius", which they should, i think. just to make things clear. i only guessed that when they list atomic...

this wasnt very nice. what puzzled me, was that different sources listing different atomic radii for the same element. alone. none of these mentioned different forces, just a simple atomic radius. also: one source says that radius of helium cannot be larger than the one of hydrogen due to...

i have just sent them an e-mail. i hope it will not take too long to get the answer.

even if they ment the radius as diameter, it still is over twice as i have got in my task and that does not correspond with the most of other sources which estimate 31 pm. i know that there are different methods or approaches to measure these values, but they should not be that different...

i know the rules of increasing and decreasing atom sizes down and across the periodic table. however, i have met one strange thing when i was given data to plot a graph. the hydrogen atom radius was stated as 32 pm, but helium was 50 pm. when i searched the internet, i found few websites...
