The element in group 18 with the smallest radius is helium. As the lightest noble gas, helium has a very small atomic size due to its two protons and two electrons, which create a strong effective nuclear charge that pulls the electrons closer to the nucleus. This results in a smaller atomic radius compared to other elements in the same group.
group 18
No group 18 element can react with fluorine under normal conditions, as they have a stable and inert configuration with full valence shells.
Many isotopes have 18 neutrons.
The increase in nuclear charge as you move across period 2 from group 14 to group 18 is offset by a simultaneous increase in the number of electrons, resulting in the atomic radius remaining relatively constant. The additional electrons in each successive element are added to the same energy level (n=2 in period 2), which keeps the average distance of the outermost electrons from the nucleus consistent.

When the element moves from group 18 to group 1, it moves to a new period. Each period has a one more electron shell than the previous. The group 1 element has one more electron shell than the group 18 element; hence, it's atomic radius is greater.
The element in group 18 period 5 is Xenon (Xe).
No, xenon (Xe) is not a transition element. It is a group 18 element or noble gas.
Helium is the lightest member in group 18.

Radon (Rn) has the most protons of any element in Group 0 (18) with 86 protons. However, if or when Ununoctium is officially confirmed, that will become the element with most protons in that family, with 118 protons.
