Radius
The atomic radius is the distance from the nucleus of an atom to the outermost orbital of electron.
attractive and weaker
Electrons in the outermost energy shell (valence shell) have the most energy.
As it has more electron shells between the nucleus and the outermost electron, and as group 1 elements react by losing there outermost electron, the more shielding effect between the nucleus and the electron, the smaller the force of attraction on the electron, so the more readily it will react as less energy is needed to break the bond between the outer electron and the positive nucleus.
In a Lews dot structure, the elemental symbol is used to represent the molecule's nucleus. The electrons are then represented by the dots.
The atomic radius is the distance from the nucleus of an atom to the outermost orbital of electron.
Valence electrons are present in outermost shell. They are at far distance from nucleus.
The distance between the nucleus an this electron is higher.
No. Electrons are located in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.
Atomic Radius means the size of the atoms, the distance from the atomic nucleus to the outermost electron orbital.

attractive and weaker
It would not depend on the direction with respect to the nucleus. The direction of the electron has no effect on the distance of the electron from the nucleus.
Electrons farthest from nucleus are valence electrons. They are present in outermost orbit.
"Electron cloud" is the name given to the electrons which surrounds the atomic nucleus.
This is because of the fact atomic radius is the distance of the outermost electron to the nucleus thus as more electrons are added the distance increase (which cause atomic radius to change)
Electrons in the outermost energy shell (valence shell) have the most energy.
