Re: table goes out of the margin
The table is too big.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

table goes out of the margin
Your columns are too wide, that's why the table goes into the margin. Just make them smaller.
However, there are other issues.
Hard to say how to "click" all this with LyX. Provide the LaTeX export code, and I would show how t make this in LaTeX.

However, there are other issues.
- there should be a (half) space between a value and a unit
- units should be written upright, not italic: m can be a variable, but 10 m are ten meters.
- relation signs should be aligned, such as in the coupling constant column
- the horizontal lines touch the exponents, vertical spacing should be wider
- double lines should be avoided
- vertical lines should not be used, horizontal lines maybe for top, header line, bottom

There's an "Export to pdfLaTeX" or "Export to LaTeX" item in the first / left top menu of LyX.

A quick shot how I would modify it in LaTeX, to show what I mean with the lines - there are other things that could be improved (I just have to leave for today):
