Atomic Radius of Iridium (Ir) [& State, Uses, Discovery ... 2022

All atoms have a (theoretical) atomic radius, even Iridium. Ok, so what is the atomic radius of an atom of Ir?

Note: Learn more about the atomic radius here.

In the case of Iridium the atomic radius is 1.87 Å. There are cool facts about Iridium that most don't know about. Let me show you...
