The ionic character increases for group 2 compounds as we go down the group. The metallic character also increases.

Why do some elements exist without ionic radius?

The elements that do not have quoted ionic radii are the noble gases. These elements do not form ionic compounds and therefore there is no crystallographic data. All of the other elements have ionic radii, these are either an "estimate" from the apparent size of the ion in different compounds, or a calculated value. Ionic radius is a useful idea but it should not be taken to literally, comparatively few compounds are truly ionic, most of them have some covalent character. The best examples of elements where the ionic radius is meaningful are the group 1, 2 metals, oxide ion and the lighter halogens.
