Atomic radius increases when moving down a group so since strontium is farther down then magnesium in Group 2A it has a larger atomic radius c. Atomic radius increases when moving down a group so since germanium is farther down then carbon in Group 4A it has a larger atomic radius d. Atomic radius increases when moving down a group so since selenium is farther down then oxygen in Group 6A it has a larger atomic radius
