Empirically Measured Atomic Radii
The following table shows empirically measured covalent radii for the elements, as published by J. C. Slater in 1964. The values are in picometers (pm), with an accuracy of about 5 pm. The shade of the box ranges from red to yellow as the radius increases; gray indicates lack of data.

Famous quotes containing the words measured and/or atomic:
“Much poetry seems to be aware of its situation in time and of its relation to the metronome, the clock, and the calendar. ... The season or month is there to be felt; the day is there to be seized. Poems beginning When are much more numerous than those beginning Where of If. As the meter is running, the recurrent message tapped out by the passing of measured time is mortality.”
—William Harmon (b. 1938)
“Other centuries had their driving forces. What will ours have been when men look far back to it one day? Maybe it wont be the American Century, after all. Or the Russian Century or the Atomic Century. Wouldnt it be wonderful, Phil, if it turned out to be everybodys century, when people all over the worldfree peoplefound a way to live together? Id like to be around to see some of that, even the beginning.”
—Moss Hart (19041961)
