What is the expression for the covalent radius of the following? Zr _____ Hf

A$$Zr \simeq Hf$$
Correct Answer
B$$Zr < Hf$$
C$$Zr > Hf$$
DNone of these

Solution

The covalent radius, is a measure of the size of an atom that forms part of one covalent bond. Zirconium $$Zr$$ (atomic number 40) and hafnium $$Hf$$ (atomic number 72) belongs to same group but both have almost equal covalent size due to lanthanoid contraction.
