Why do the elements on the left side have such a huge atomic radii compared to the elements in the middle?

less electrons in the valence orbital cloud means that the effect of the nucleus has less effect on them. for example, potassium has 1 valent electron, so the effect of the nucleus on this electron cant help the elctron more than the other 18 electrons its looking after, so this poor little guy out in the valent orbital is effected less by the positive effect of the nucleus.
take this explanation, reverse it and it explains why the radii is smaller for right side.

Because this is a table of elements and not isotopes.

I mean if the fact they converge on iron doesn't seem significant to you then maybe you need to pay more attention in school

all that just sounds like a massive cope, if the laws of nature entailed the opposite scientists would have come up with some equally likely sounding crap to explain it

If you put the elements in a row based on the number of protons, the atomic radius gets bigger and smaller in a wave-like way. Interesting

Electronegativity.
The lower the EN, the more leeway the electrons got.

so is Cesium kinda like the big chungus of elements?

>atom radius increases as electropositivity increases and vice versa
>except those particles where it doesn't, those have ligma electron configuration
