Rb is larger with a radius of 248 pm while Xe has one of 130 pm. It follows the trend that radii decrease as you move right across the Periodic Table.
Hydrogen.Atomic radius increases down the group
Hydrogen
Rb
Ionization energy increase across a period and decreases down a group, therefore the the element with the greater ionization energy would be found in the top right of the periodic table. In this instance fluorine, F would have the greater ionization energy.
Potassium's atomic radius is smaller than rubidium's because potassium has fewer energy levels of electrons.
Noble gases have the smallest atomic radius.

Rb
Rubidium has an atomic radius of 248 picometers.
Ionization energy increase across a period and decreases down a group, therefore the the element with the greater ionization energy would be found in the top right of the periodic table. In this instance fluorine, F would have the greater ionization energy.
Potassium's atomic radius is smaller than rubidium's because potassium has fewer energy levels of electrons.
A potassium atom has 19 protons and 19 electrons, plus 20-22 neutrons. A rubidium atom has 37 protons and 37 electrons, plus 46-50 neutrons and so is bigger.
There are 45 neutrons in an atom of rubidium. There are also 37 protons and the atomic mass is 82.
Noble gases have the smallest atomic radius.
85.4678 is the atomic weight of Rb.

Rb is the largest, Li the smallest in the row above. Group 1 of the periodic table: Fr > Cs > Rb > K > Na > Li > H
In terms of atomic radius, the sequence would be oxygen, carbon (both period 2), magnesium (period 3), rubidium (period 4), and cesium (period 5). Note that order by periods is not absolute: in each period, the elements toward the far left side have the largest radii. For example, the radius for lithium in period 2 is larger than almost all of the elements in periods 3 and 4. *Numerically, the elements O, C, Mg, Rb, and Cs have respective radii of about 60, 70, 150, 235, and 260 picometers.
