Argon is the atom that has the smallest radius in Period 3. As you go cross Period 3 from left to right, the atomic radii of the elements decrease. The elements in Period 3 from left to right begin with sodium and ends with argon.
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.
Look for the highest numbered atom in the group: radium. Also barium has an empirical radius similar to the radius of radium: 215 pm.
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.
for hydrogen it is about 37 pico-meters. larger atoms (larger than H or He) have a second, or even 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 orbitals of electrons. Francium, #87 has an atomic radius of 270 p-m. Much bigger, but way tiny compared to you.
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.
The atomic radius decrease, with several exceptions in periods 6 and 5.

Rhodium is in period 5 in the periodic table, with the atomic number 45.
The atomic radius of cobalt is about 135 pm (±5 pm).
Strontium is in the 5th period of the periodic table.

Period 5 in the periodic table includes elements from 37 (Rb) to 55 (Cs). This period consists of transition metals, lanthanides, and actinides, as well as nonmetals and metalloids like iodine and tellurium. Elements in period 5 generally have increasing atomic numbers and atomic masses from left to right.
We can find Polonium as a non metal element. Atomic number of it is 84.
It doesn't actually exist. Only been proposed.
