if you search the Periodic Table and find you can see the numeric value numbers of 1 to 8 then shortly you will see the radius will increase vigourusly showing the bottom and top number at any one time then that is how to get the radius separated from the core nucleus

as the sterength of bonds in alkali metals decreases down the group its melting point decreases This is because metal atoms are held together by the electromagnetic attraction from the positive ions to the delocalised electronsthe metallic bond becomes weaker so that the metal can more easily melt and boil, thus lowering the melting and boiling points.The increased nuclear charge is not a relevant factor due to the screening effect

As you go down a column in the periodic table, the atomic radius increases, and melting point decreases for the alkali metals.

because there is a higher number of atoms in the alkali metals meaning the ones lower in the periodic table are more prone to melting easily
