I havent been able to find this out anywhere..There has to be a periodic table trend that you can follow like with electronegativity

The bigger the atomic radius, the harder it is for the two atoms to get together closely. Or the stronger the electronegativity the smaller the radius would be. Because high electranegativity == shorter lengths. Upvote 0 Downvote
