Abstract
Expressions for the dependence of hybrid orbital radii upon the constituent atomic orbitals and the ionicity of the bond to be formed are given. Using accurate bond-length data (±0.005 A) and a suitable expression for bond ionicity, atomic orbital radii have been obtained for the elements of the first four periods (other than transition metals). These radii can be used to calculate bond lengths in lone molecules, ionic crystals or metals or, alternatively, the experimental internuclear distance can be used in the same manner as the nuclear quadrupole coupling constant to describe the bond parameters in some detail.
