Step-by-step explanation:

Atomic size is the distance from the nucleus to the valence shell where the valence electrons are located. ... Atomic radius is a more definite and measureable way of defining atomic size. It is the distance from the center of one atom to the center of another atom in a homonuclear diatomic molecule.
