Best answer

In a group, atomic radius increases on moving down the group because on moving down in group, number of shells increases and due to this the shielding effect increases. In a period, on moving from left to right atomic radius decreases because electrons fill in same shell and no new shell formed. As a result nuclear attractive force increases and atomic size decreases.
