why are noble elements larger than halogen?

 Generally atomic size decreases while moving from left to right in the periodic table. But in the case of noble gases, they have comparatively higher atomic size than corresponding halogens because of the reason that vanderwaal’s radii (present in noble gases) is much larger than ionic and covalent radii (present in other elements).

Because they are fully filled so electron repulsion is maximum on them this result in increase in their size . So their size is larger then size of hologen

the size of noble gases is calculated by van der waals radius whereas the size of halogens is calculated by ionic radii.
since vanderwaal radius > ionic radii 
  noble gases have a larger size
