Rubidium's atomic radius is greater than xenon's because the trend for atomic radius is that it decreases left to right across a period (even though atomic number increases, and generally speaking, Atomic Mass does as well.) This is a result of the attraction between the protons in the nucleus and the valence electrons, which are all in the same energy level for isoperiodic elements.
