Notes

• The radius of an atom is not a uniquely defined property and depends on the definition. Data derived from other sources with different assumptions cannot be compared.
• † to an accuracy of about 5 pm
• (a) 12 coordinate
• (b) gallium has an anomalous crystal structure
• (c) 10 coordinate
• (d) uranium, neptunium and plutonium have irregular structures
