Because you have more electrons in the atom
The atomic radius increase down, from helium to radon.
The group trend for atomic radius is that it tends to increase down a group in the periodic table. This is because as you move down a group, the number of electron shells increases, leading to a larger atomic radius. Additionally, the effective nuclear charge decreases down a group, which also contributes to the increase in atomic radius.
Because as you go down the group the atomic number increase. And by that the number of electrons in the electron cloud increases, thus widening the atomic radii. ***************2nd Opinion**************** If that were true, then atomic radius would also increase as you move to the right in a series. The reason atomic radius increases going down a family is that each atom has electrons in a whole new energy level compared to the atom above it. For example, Group 1: The outer shells are 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, 7s.
Atomic Mass
The atomic radius increase down in a group; the cause is the lower attraction from the nucleus atoms with increased bigger atomic mass.
atomic radius decreases from bottom to top of the periodic table.
The atomic radius increases going down the periodic table due to the addition of more electron shells around the nucleus, leading to increased shielding effect and weaker attraction between the electrons and the nucleus.
Atomic radius increases down a group due to increase in number of shells. Its value decreases along a period due to increase in nuclear charge.
The atomic radius of elements increases as you go down a group. This increase in radius as you go down a period is primarily caused by the increasing principal quantum number of the outer electron shells.
Decreases. Look at the images under atomic radius, on wikipedia.
Down the group, atomic radius increases. This is due to increase in number of shells.
Cesium will have a larger atomic radius than magnesium. This is because atomic radius tends to increase down a group in the periodic table, and cesium is located below magnesium in the periodic table.
