Covalent Radius: Measure of the size of an atom that forms part of one covalent bond
The covalent radius is the radius of an atom that is measured when that atom is in a covalent bond.
It is normally measured in picometers. It is normally found by X-ray diffraction. Also it is half the distance between two similar atoms joined by covalent bond
