Stevenson & Schromaker Equation:
Covalent radius of heterogeneous molecule like A-B etc determine by Stevenson & Schromaker Equation, if atoms are formed different type of covalent bond i.e. on atom is more electronegative than the other combined atom. Then the covalent radius is calculated by the relation given by Stevenson & Schromaker, given as:
For a diatomic Hetero molecule:
Bond Length (lA-B) = rA + rB- 0.09(XA-XB)
Where XA= Electronegativity of more electronegative atom
Where XB= Electronegativity of less electronegative atom
