Chapter 7, Problem 24E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The experimental bond length of $\text{Bi}-\text{I}$ in ${\text{BiI}}_{\text{3}}$ is given. Based on this value and the data from Figure $\text{7}\text{.7}$ , the atomic radius of $\text{Bi}$ is to be predicted.

Concept introduction: Bond length is the sum of atomic radii of atoms present in that bond.

To determine: The atomic radius of $\text{Bi}$ using given experimental bond length value of $\text{Bi}-\text{I}$ and the data from Figure $\text{7}\text{.7}$ .
