Covalent Radius of Neodymium (Nd) - & Sources, Uses ... 2022

Molecules and atoms have a certain 'size or radius', even Neodymium. Ok but what is the covalent radius of an atom of Nd?

In the case of Neodymium the covalent radius is 1.64 Å. You see, there is a lot of info about Neodymium (beyond an atom's radius) that is actually interesting. Let me show you...

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 Neodymium (Nd) - & 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.
