Description Sean Robinson 2009-12-07 08:53:44 UTC

Version:           1.4.6 (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Strontium is listed with the incorrect atomic radius of 235.0 pm.  The correct atomic radius of strontium is 215 pm.

Comment 1 Carsten Niehaus 2009-12-07 10:49:39 UTC

Thanks for the hint, can you give me the source from which you have this information, please?

Comment 2 Sean Robinson 2009-12-07 19:59:49 UTC

Sorry, yes.  The information comes from "A Periodic Table of the Elements" at the Los Alamos National Laboratory.  It states the atomic radius of strontium is 215.1 pm.

215 seems to be the calculated radius.
Kalzium only shows the van-der-vaals and the covalent radius.

This should be moved upsream to the blue obelisc data repoitory project.

Thank you for the bug report.

As this report hasn't seen any changes in 5 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists.

If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.

Comment 6 Sean Robinson 2021-03-20 14:13:32 UTC

Kalzium appears to have never added the calculated radii of the elements to its database.  As stated, Kalzium only displays the van der Waals radius and the covalent radius.  Therefore I am marking this bug report as "resolved - intentional."
