Answer» This is CAUSED by the INCREASE in the number of protons and ELECTRONS across a period. One PROTON has a greater effect than one electron; THUS, electrons are pulled towards the nucleus, resulting in a smallerradius.Atomic radius increases from top to bottom within a group. This is caused by electron shielding. |
