Down a group
As the electron enters a new shell, the distance between the nucleus and the outermost electron increases. Thus, atomic size increases down a group.
2. Along a period
As there is no new shell appearing along a period, the distance between the nucleus and the outermost electron remains same but due to attraction between the nucleus and the electron, the distance decreases. Thus, the atomic size decreases along a period.
But, an exceptional case is there of noble gases as they have larger atomic size as compared to the elements in that period because of negligible Van der Waals forces of attraction.
