Which atom has the greater atomic radius Potassium or Krypton?

The potassium atom has a larger radius. When potassium loses an electron to become a cation (positively charged ion), it also loses the energy level in which the electron was. Therefore the potassium ion is smaller that the potassium atom.


Which has a larger atomic radius sodium or cesium?

No. Lithium and sodium are both from the same column of the periodic table and so have similar chemical properties. Lithium is atomic number 3 with a weight of 6.94. Sodium is much bigger and heavier with an atomic number of 11 and a weight of 22.99.
