- Consider the following statements. I. In the case of a covalent bond, the contribution from each atom is called the covalent radius of that atom. II. The covalent radius is half of the distance between two similar atoms joined by a covalent bond in the same molecule. III. The covalent radius is measured approximately as the radius of an atom core which is in contact with the core of an adjacent atom in a bonded situation. Which of the above definitions is/are correct regarding the covalent bond?
