Same distance as in the average organic compound.

Thanks for replying, would you know what distance that would be?

Ive been unable to find the information using a google search

that's because you're asking an undefined question like "how long is a piece of string". there are a multitude of factors - both interatomic and intermolecular. you need to be precise about the question. starting with "why" would help.

Somewhere between half an angstrom and one and a half angstroms will cover all of the possible nearest neighbor bonded atoms in latex.

A lot smaller than a football. A lot larger than a hydrogen nucleus. About on the order of the size of the atoms, in the first place. Which makes sense.
