[edit] Ionic Radius
It would nice if you put the Ionic Radius chart in atomic order.
Perhaps a reference for these data could be provided?
[edit] What charge?
It makes no sense to list numbers without stating the charge of every ion listed. There is nothing like "ionic radius" of iron, osmium, etc. Who will guess it is Shannon radius calculated for six-coordinate high-spin Fe(3+) and e.g. not for Fe(2+)? The same for most elements. And one should not compare atomic radii obtained with different methods. If one list Shannon radius for iron, one should list Shannon radius for hydrogen(+), and it is negative. See e.g. http://abulafia.mt.ic.ac.uk/shannon/radius.php. Sincerely, Witold, Poland, 87.207.174.157 22:41, 19 September 2006 (UTC), a casual visitor.
