van der waal radius is greater than co valent radius because van der waal radius is the distance between the nucleus of two atoms of different compound whereas covalent radius is distance between nucleus of atoms of same compound.

Why are van der waals radii larger than atomic raddii?

Van der Waals radii are larger than atomic radii because they include the space occupied by the electron clouds around the atom, which are not considered in atomic radii. Van der Waals radii are used to estimate the effective size of atoms when they are close to each other and experience van der Waals forces.

Which element has an atomic radius of 152 nm?

First, the value of the atomic radius is not fixed, but depends on the definition you're using. Second, no element has an atomic radius as large as 152 nm. All atomic radii are about 1000 times smaller than that. Finally, assuming that you meant to say 152 pm, lithium has a metallic radus of 152 pm, oxygen has a van der Waals radius of 152 pm, and cobalt has a calculated atomic radius of 152 pm.
