Atoms with the largest atomic radius are found in the bottom left corner of the periodic table. This is because atomic radius tends to increase as you move down a group (column) due to the addition of electron shells, and it also tends to increase as you move to the left across a period (row) due to decreasing effective nuclear charge. Thus, elements such as cesium (Cs) and francium (Fr), which are located in the bottom left corner, have some of the largest atomic radii.
