Assuming covalent radii to be additive property; calculate the iodine-iodine distances in o-, m-, p-di-iodobenzene. The benzene ring is regular hexagon and each C—I bond lies on a line passing through the centre of hexagon. The C—C bond length in C6H6 are 1.40 Å and covalent radius of iodine and carbon atom are 1.33 Å and 0.77 Å. Also neglect different overlapping effect.
