Why do atoms in a group of elements icrease in size as you move down the columns in the periodic table?

This is because a halogen ion, to become so gained an electron, meaning the positive charge of the protons is spread over more electrons and so there is a greater distance between the outermost shell and the nucleus

∙ 16y agoactually its called a group of family not a column. And they get bigger because there is more electrons.

How are atoms held together on the periodic table?
Periodic table is an arrangement of elements where the elements are arranged in the increasing order of their atomic number. The atoms on the periodic table are not held by any force.
