picometer
micrometer
millimeter

Solution
Atomic radius is expressed in the unit picometer.
Explanation:
Because atoms are extremely small, their atomic radii are measured using very small units of length. While nanometres (1 nm = 10−9m) are sometimes used, the picometre (1 pm = 10−12m) is the most standard and precise unit for expressing atomic size in chemistry.
