Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is 119.

Explanation:

We are given the bond length of XY is 212.

The covalent radius of Y = 93.

Now this means that the bond length(R) is sum of the radio of X and Y Atom.

So, R(XY)=r(X)+r(Y)

212 = r(X)+93

r(X)= 119.

Therefore, the covalent radius of X is 119.

I hope this helps, have a good day! :D
