Answer:
The size of the atom is of the order of 1Å=1010m.
Explanation:
Honestly, it depends on what we are talking about because there are various theories like poor shielding effect which can make the size of the atom differ. But in general the size of an atom deoends upon the effective nuclear charge, this is true under every condition, including that of pooor shielding effect.
Also, by your way of asking the question it seems you are talking about as in reference with the periodic table. So, the size of an atom increases with addition of shells and decreases with increase in effective nuclear charge.
Nuclear charge is the total positive charge accumulated in the nucleus which attracts electrons from the shells due to positive and negative attraction.
