Talk:Covalent radius of fluorine

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Grade[edit]

This article seems to confuse two distinct physical quantities:

  • the bond length in the difluorine molecule; and
  • the covalent radius of a fluorine atom when it is bound to atoms other than fluorine.

I would invite the author to reread it and try to correct this problem, as the sources are excellent and I am sure that he or she has a valid point to be made. Physchim62 (talk) 14:56, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Opening sentence[edit]

This article has perhaps the most fantastically unhelpful opening sentence I have yet read in Wikipedia:

"covalent radius of fluorine is a measure of the covalent radius of fluorine"
