The major assumption is that the radius of an ion or a neutral atom having an electronic configuration of a noble gas element depends primarily on the interaction between the nucleus and the surrounding electrons and not on the interaction between the ion and its neighbors. As expected, the values of the new set of radii are slightly greater than the univalent radii and smaller than the radii of noble gas atoms in their crystals (in which the coordination number is 12). The neutral atomic radii (in ångströms) of noble gas elements are CN . He . Ne . Ar . Kr .

Errors are given at the 2σ level. Values in parentheses were determined by extrapolation and have greater errors. The larger error for the He radius is due to large uncertainty in the H− radius.
