Question

Table 10.3 shows that the van der Waals b parameter has
units of L/mol. This means that we can calculate the sizes
of atoms or molecules from the b parameter. Is the van der Waals radius we
calculate from the b parameter of Table 10.3 more closely
associated with the bonding or nonbonding atomic radius
discussed there? Explain.
