Covalent Radius of Thallium (Tl) - & Sources, Uses ... 2022

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

In the case of Thallium the covalent radius is 1.48 Å. You see, there is a lot of info about Thallium (beyond an atom's radius) that is actually interesting. Let me show you...
