Estimating the size of a molecule using oil. It would be wonderful if you could measure the size of a single atom, but atoms are so small that it cannot be done directly. Yet you can find the size of a molecule in a roundabout way and from that calculate the size of an atom. Lord Rayleigh (English physicist, 1842 to 1919.
The Size of Atoms: Covalent Radii. The size of an atom can be estimated by measuring the distance between adjacent atoms in a covalent compound. The covalent radius of a chlorine atom, for example, is half the distance between the nuclei of the atoms in a Cl2 molecule. The covalent radii of the main group elements are given in the figure below.
