Answer:

The atomic radius of a chemical element is the measure of the size of its atoms, usually the mean or typical distance from the centre of the nucleus to the boundary of surrounding shells of electrons

Hope it helps :)

The chemical element's atomic radius is measured by the size of its atoms, usually the medium or typical distance between the central nucleus and the surrounding electron shells. As the limit is not a well defined physical entity, different definitions of non-equivalent atomic radius exist.

Hope this helps!
