I'm getting too different answers for atomic radius of iridium. I've already found 1.34 x 10-8 but all shows different answers. I mean like 1.34, 1.35, 1.36... Are those correct?

The atomic radius of iridium is 136.65 pm (picometers). This value is based on the average distance between the nucleus and the outermost electron shell of an iridium atom.
There may be two different answers for the atomic radius of iridium because different methods can be used to measure it. This can lead to slight variations in the calculated value.
Currently, X-ray crystallography is considered the most accurate method for determining the atomic radius of iridium. This method involves analyzing the diffraction patterns of X-rays passing through a crystal of iridium.
The atomic radius of an element is a constant value. However, it may vary slightly depending on the specific isotope of iridium being measured.
Iridium has a relatively small atomic radius compared to other elements on the periodic table. It is the second smallest element, with only platinum having a smaller atomic radius.
