How does the atomic radii and ionisation enthalpy vary across a period?

Answer»
  • The atomic or ionic radii decreases across a period with increase in atomic number and increase in the effective nuclear charge (Zeff). 
  • The ionisation enthalpy also increases across a period with increase in atomic number. This is due to addition of electrons to the same shell, while moving across a period. 
  • Inert element at the end of period has the highest value of ionisation enthalpy.
