Experimental data on the differences of charge radii of nuclei in the ground and high-spin isomeric states are surveyed. High-resolution laser-spectroscopy methods were used for measurements. The results obtained for the differences of these radii by two methods-from measurements of isomeric shifts of the levels of atoms containing the nuclei being studied and from measurements of their quadrupole moments in both states under the assumption that the differences of the radii are determined by the difference in their quadrupole deformations-were compared. Two-particle isomers in odd-odd nuclei, isomers formed upon the break of one or several nucleon pairs, and isomers featuring the 1i{sub 13/2} configuration of the odd neutron in mercury nuclei were considered. The observed distinctions between the aforementioned differences of charged radii are discussed for isomeric states of different nature.
