Yes. For the elements in a given period, alkali metals have the largest radii.
Noble gases have larger atomic radii than alkali metals in the same period.
Metals: Shiny 'metallic' appearance Solids at room temperature (except mercury) High melting points High densities Large atomic radii Non Metals: High ionization energies High electronegativities Poor thermal conductors Poor electrical conductors Brittle solids Little or no metallic luster Gain electrons easily Metalloids: Electronegativities between those of metals and nonmetals Ionization energies between those of metals and nonmetals Possess some characteristics of metals/some of nonmetals Reactivity depends on properties of other elements in reaction Often make good semiconductors
A. Alkali metals have the large radii and low atomic weights
Radii generally decrease from left to right along each period (row) of the table, from the alkali metals to the noble gases; radii increase down each group (column). The radius increases sharply between the noble gas at the end of each period and the alkali metal at the beginning of the next period

A. Alkali metals have the large radii and low atomic weights
The sum of two radii of a circle is the same as the diameter of the circle.
Radii generally decrease from left to right along each period (row) of the table, from the alkali metals to the noble gases; radii increase down each group (column). The radius increases sharply between the noble gas at the end of each period and the alkali metal at the beginning of the next period
Noble gases have the smallest atomic radius.
Some characteristics Of Metals, Nonmetals, And Metalloids: Metals: High thermal and electrical conductivity Hard, dense, and solid (except For Mercury [which is a liquid]) Strong Malleable Ductility Luster Sonorous High melting points High tensile strength Nonmetals: Do not conduct heat and electricity very well Dull Brittle Not sonorous Insulators Low melting point Low tensile strength Metalloids: Semi-conductors Low conductivity

The atomic radii of members of the Group 1A (Alkali metals), increases down the group. Therefore Francium has the largest atomic radius of the Alkali metals. However Fr has no stable isotopes, thus is not naturally occurring. So Cs-133 is the largest you can find.
Increases
Bromine's atomic radii is larger than that of chlorine.
