In the case of Zirconium the covalent radius is 1.45 Å. You see, there is a lot of info about Zirconium (beyond an atom's radius) that is actually interesting. Let me show you...

State at 20 °C
SolidUses
Used in alloys such as zircaloy which is used in nuclear applications since it does not readily absorb neutrons. Also baddeleyite is used in lab crucibles. Used in high-performance pumps and valves. Clear zircon (ZrSiO4) is a popular gemstone.Sources
Found in many minerals such as zircon and baddeleyite.Description

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 Zirconium (Zr) - & 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.
