What is the process that results in the increase of atomic number?

The number of energy levels increase within a group. Therefor the atomic radius increases. So the atomic volume also increases.The atomic radius also increases in a group.For metals, reactivity increases down the group. For non-metals, reactivity decreases down a group.
