neon and helium both are group 18 elements
francium and caesium both are group 1 elements
Atomic radius of an atom increases as we go down the group and decreases as we go from left to right in a period
group 1 is present at the extreme left of the periodic table and group 18 is present at the extreme right of the periodic table
so according to this group 1 elements must have the highest atomic radius in the periodic table
but that's not the case noble gas elements are an exception
noble gas elements have the largest radius in the periodic table
as as helium is present above neon in the periodic table
the atomic radius of neon is a larger than helium
the answer is neon
