Which atom has the larger atomic radius K or Li?

K has a larger atomic radius than Li. This is because atomic radius generally increases down a group in the periodic table, so potassium (K) being below lithium (Li) in Group 1 will have a larger atomic radius.

What element has a larger atomic radius Magnesium or Bromide?

Bromine has a larger atomic radius than magnesium. Atomic radius generally increases as you move down a group on the periodic table, so bromine, being below magnesium, has a larger atomic radius.
