umm.. again a question to thomaster i can't find the Atomic radius of Berkelium..

thomaster (thomaster):

http://www.chemicool.com/elements/berkelium.html :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yah.. pls explain this weird variation..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

188, 180, 161, 138, 130, 151, 173, 299, 170, 295, 186, 290, 287, 285, 282

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is the sequence for the entire Actinide atomic radius.. the 200+ pm is worrying me.. it's erratic.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

only 170 is given by u, the rest is from chemistry.about

thomaster (thomaster):

I have no idea.. I guess there are some outliers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

eh.. that's just wrong.. or printing mistake.. an outliner with a jump of 100+ ?? (Americium 173 -> curium 299)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If any of this info comes out to be false, i'm XP for chem's project..

thomaster (thomaster):

Another source says that the atomic radius of curium = 174

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol..

thomaster (thomaster):

http://www.chemicool.com/elements/curium.html

thomaster (thomaster):

Don't know why chemistry.about says 299 0.o

thomaster (thomaster):

I'll check all the actinides. give me a sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, then i need the other source atomic radius for Californium, Fermium, Mendelevium, Nobelium and Lawrencium.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol..

thomaster (thomaster):

actinium = 195 pm thorium = 179 pm protactinium = 163 pm uranium = 175 pm neptunium = 175 pm plutonium = 175 pm americium = 173 pm curium = 174 pm berkelium = 170 pm californium = 186 pm einsteinium = 186 pm fermium = ?? mendelevium = ?? nobelium = ?? lawrencium = ?? Does that make more sense?

thomaster (thomaster):

That's from http://www.chemicool.com/ But i cannot guarantee that it's correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah, i just don't seem to find Fermium, Mendelevium, Lawrencium and Nobelium

thomaster (thomaster):

maybe they're unknown

thomaster (thomaster):

Maybe @chmvijay knows

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ookay..

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

Atomic radius 170 pm

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

see the left measurements of this link http://www.chemicool.com/elements/berkelium.html

OpenStudy (anonymous):

chmvijay?? have u any records of the estimated atomic radius of these 4 elements? Fermium, Mendelevium, Nobelium and Lawrencium..

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

u find that to in that above link all elements are there on the right side of that link just check

thomaster (thomaster):

the atomic radius of Fermium, Mendelevium, Nobelium and Lawrencium are unknown on that site

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yah, i checked that.. some ionic radii are mentioned.. but i require Atomic radii..

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

LOL sory i will get them soon i am going for dinner hungry .......... give u later or just Google u will definitely get it :) @thomaster canu have look at this and give him all the atomic radius including his too :P

thomaster (thomaster):

i already did :P but i can't find the radius of the last 4 actinides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol, yeah.. same here..

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

sorry guys u haven't found them yet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nah..
