Measurement of atomic radii

Kaneko, Masashi   

This article was made to explain the paper stating that atomic size was measured by computational method (R. Hoffmann, et al., Chem. Eur. J., 22, doi: 10.1002/chem.201602949) for student majoring chemistry. The estimation of atomic size was performed by means relativistic density functional theory. The atomic radii of noble gas and d-block elements were discussed.
