Among metals,non-metals,and noble gases,which one has the largest atomic radius? Why?
(C) Noble gases have the largest atomic radius.
This is because the atomic radius of noble gases is measured as the $Van der Waals$ radius.
Since noble gases exist as monoatomic gases,their $Van der Waals$ radius is significantly larger than the covalent or metallic radii of other elements.
