The ` C-Si` single-bond distance is `SiC` (carbondum) or `(CH_(3))_(4)Si` is `194`pm and the convalent radius of `C` is `77`pm. Find the convalent radius of silicon. Strategy: Use Eq. to obtain directly the convalent radius of silicon. |

Answer» `d_(C-Si) = r_(C) +r_(Si)` or `r_(Si) = d_(C-Si) - r_(C)` `= 194nm - 77`pm `= 117` pm Thus, the covalent radius of `Si` is `117`pm. |
