The concept of van der Waals radius is confined to

A

noble gases

B

representative nonmetals

C

transition nonmetals

D

inner transition nonmentals

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The concept of `r_(vdw)` is not confined solely to the noble gases (the only elements forming solids with formally non-bonded atom), but is extended to the non-bonded interactions between molecules.
