Answer 1

The answer here is the atom's number and arrangement of electrons ,

The size of an atom depends on various factors , size of atom increases on going top to bottom in a group as the number of valence shell increases and it decreases in a period as number of valence shell remains same but number of electrons in the valence shell increases that is it depends upon the atom's number and arrangement of electrons ,
