hi all
for calculation of covalent radius in a 2 atomic molecule, when the two atoms are the same, it is easy and by dividing to 2 you can find the covalent radius, but when we have a bond between two different atoms, you have to subtract the atomic covalent of one of these atoms from the bond length, and in this way, the number of covalent radius for an atom can be different, for example for hydrogen in H-F and H-I. this means the covalent radius is not closely related to the atomic radius, am I right?
