QUESTION

What is the trend for atomic radius down a group?

Atomic size increases.

As we go down within a group, we can observe an increase in the size. It is simply because when we go down a group, the number of electrons of each element increases. The number of shells (n) increases. This is also caused by the increase in the shielding effect, hence the size of atom increases.
