The As-Cl bond distance in AsCl_3 is 2.200^@. Estimate the single bond

1.	The As-Cl bond distance in AsCl_3 is 2.200^@. Estimate the single bond covalent radius of Arsenic. (Covalent radius of Cl is 0.99A^@).
Answer» SOLUTION :Internuclear distance - RADIUS of chlorine atom = radius of arseinc atom `2.20-0.99=1.21Å` COVALENT radius of As=1.21Å`
