When moving from the top to the bottom of a group (or family) in the periodic table, the atomic radius of an element generally increases. This is due to the addition of electron shells as you move down a group, which places the outer electrons further from the nucleus and results in a larger atomic size.
So, the correct statement would be:
- The atomic radius of an element increases when you move from the top to the bottom of a family (Group).
