The example of Iodine and tellurium where iodine which had lesser atomic mass was placed before tellurium proved that order of the Periodic table based on atomic mass was not always correct.

<h3>Why did Mendeleev swap Iodine and tellurium in his Periodic Table so that they were not in order of atomic weight?</h3>

The periodic table as designed by Mendeleev was arranged such that the elements were arranged in order of increasing atomic mass.

However, in this case of tellurium and iodine, Mendeleev placed tellurium before iodine even though it had a greater atomic mass than iodine. This was because Mendeleev observed that elements with similar chemical properties were occurring in a regular pattern in the periodic table and iodine has similar chemical properties to bromine and chlorine before it.

Therefore, the case of Iodine and tellurium proved that arranging elements in the periodic table in order of increasing atomic mass was not always correct.

Looking across period 4 of the periodic table, potassium (atomic number 19) is followed by calcium (atomic number 20), which is
Mumz [18]
While staying in the same period, if we move from left to right across the period, the atomic radius decreases. The reason is, in a period the number of shells remain the same and the number of electrons and protons increase as we move across the period to the right. The increased electrons and protons attract each other with greater force and hence the atomic size decreases. 

So the element on the left most will have the largest atomic radius. So the correct ans is Potassium. Potassium will have the largest atomic size among Potassium, Calcium and Scandium.
