32 to 270 picometers for He and Fr respectively

last 3 rows had unavailable data and a default 200 pm was used

decided not to use the suggested subject of "how small are your balls"

Does the atom's coloring follow a particular scheme?

yes and no

the colors defined are those defined for atoms found in most drugs for the
molecule exporter

all others are random with a "toodark" filter. (thats seems to have missed
Boron)

You can find some more Data at http://www.webelements.com/

some Examples:
Pr Atomic radius (empirical) [/pm]: 185
Ac Atomic radius (empirical) [/pm]: 195
U Atomic radius (empirical) [/pm]: 175
Ho      Atomic radius (empirical) [/pm]: 175

haichen,

Thank you for that effort but it seems I need to know where you found this
data, something more than a domain.


Almost everything but the last row:
http://www.webelements.com/webelements/properties/text/image-flash/atomic-radius.html

And no sanity seems to exist there as you can never tell what to expect to
appear after a click.
Back button brings up different charts, etc than what was there previously.
(heinous indeed)

Pr Atomic radius (empirical) [/pm]: 185
Ac Atomic radius (empirical) [/pm]: 195
U Atomic radius (empirical) [/pm]: 175
Ho Atomic radius (empirical) [/pm]: 175

I find a descrepancy and do not see U or Ac. Can you account for the
descrepancy of Pr and which is the actual value? (Where are all of them?
preferably in some text format that can be read.)

Pr 247
Nd 206
Pm 205
Sm 238
Eu 231
Gd 233
Tb 225
Dy 228
Ho 226
Er 226
Tm 222
Yb 222

Hopfully, with some assistance, there will be a new and better periodic in
this thread soon.

No discrepancy.

Those 2 looks to small, but it should be OK.

A little small.

Still small

A little big

The lantanoids and actinoids are particuliar in that the orbitals and sub 
orbitals are not filled sequentialy. In the rest of the groups, the various sub 
orbitals receive 1 electron each before any get a second one. S receive 1, then 
P receive 3, one per axis, then S receive the second, then the rest of P is filled.
This sequance breaks down with the frouth orbital order. More paired electrons = 
smaler atomic radii.

I'll say!  Some of those post-actinoids are known by something like 3 or 4
atoms in a cloud chamber, and have half-lives of a few milliseconds.  Need
to get the caliper in there real fast!  Two of them (Uuh and Uuo) were even
imaginary, making measurements even more difficult.  (Look up "Victor Ninov"
for more about this creative alchemy.)

As far as i can tell, Uus hasn't even been discovered yet; and Uud, Uuh,
Uuo, Uup, Uuq, and Uut are still in the process of verification, since their
atoms decay literally faster than they can be detected.  I imagine that
quantum mechanics can predict their atomic radii, but that may be a
pointless exercise.

I don't know why the lanthanoids' data would be missing (especially
considering that francium's wasn't missing!), but i'd imagine that their
radii would be similar to lanthanum's.  Considering this, and looking at
Alain's data, your lanthanum atom looks way too small.  What value did you
have for that?

The final size went through a few transformations.
What we see in my models and others is an approximate hydrogen/carbon size
ratio of 0.6/1

povatomicsize {
  ; atomicradii.txt from jpg TABLES20.JPG and S21
  ; http://www.chemcool.com/referencetables/tableS.htm
after division
  ; Carbon = 1.475676
  ; H = 0.6

http://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/products/csd/radii/
"van der Waals radius of the element as used in CSD software [see Note C]"
after division
  ; Carbon = 1
  ; H = 0.705882


First source was used and if (0) { use the second source (angstroms * 100)


divided by 61.66667
and divided by 170

Explaining the reason for atom appearance in this initial render and the
need for a single source.

La was 138 pm and first data source was used. Second source La was default 2


So what was 0?

As much as I hate stating the obvious, your statement "No discrepancy"
warrants it.

Pr
185 != 247

A difference of 62 picometers is what was meant by "discrepancy".

Ho
175 != 226

Amazing statements should have amazing explanations.
