Does a metal have a greater atomic radius or ionic radius?

A metal will tend to lose electrons and hence the atomic radius is higher than the ionic radius.


How does the ionic radius of a nonmetal compare with its atomic radius?

Is metallic radius only for metals?

Yes. There are other measures for ions (ionic radius) and free atoms(atomic radius) and covalent radius. Metallic, ionic and covalent are based on measurements of distances in crystals or covelnt bond lengths, atomic radius is based more on calcuation than observation.


What is another word for atomic radius?

The other word for atomic radius includes the Van der Waals radius, ionic radius, and covalent radius. The atomic radius refers to half the distance between the nuclei of identical neighboring atoms in the solid form of an element.
