In the case of Iron the covalent radius is 1.17 Å. You see, there is a lot of info about Iron (beyond an atom's radius) that is actually interesting. Let me show you...
Iron Facts

1.17 Ã…Atomic Number
26Learn more about the atomic number.
State at 20 °C
SolidUses
Used in steel and other alloys. Essential for humans. It is the chief constituent of hemoglobin which carries oxygen in blood vessels. Its oxides are used in magnetic tapes and disks.Sources
Obtained from iron ores. Pure metal produced in blast furnaces by layering limestone, coke and iron ore and forcing hot gasses into the bottom. This heats the coke red hot and the iron is reduced from its oxides and liquified where it flows to the bottomDescription
Malleable, ductile, silvery-white metal. Fourth most abundant element in the earth's crust (56,300 ppm). Ninth most abundant element in the universe.Atomic Symbol

Anglo-Saxon: iron; symbol from Latin: ferrum (iron).Atomic Mass

Citation
When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.
To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:
Luz, Gelson. "Covalent Radius of Iron (Fe) - & Sources, Uses ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>
Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
