Tania Clements · Answer 1

Cs, Ba belong to 1 st and 2 nd group of 6 th period of periodic table. Te and I belong to 16 the and 17 the group of 5 the period of periodic table.

We know that as we move to the right in a period, atomic radius decreases and if we move up in a group, atomic radius decreases. On the basis of this fact, we can conclude that Cs will have largest radius and I will have smallest radius. I will be most stable.
