Your question is incorrect. It should be increases rather than decreases. Well it is the proton number (Z) that increases.

Atomic radius decreases across a period from left to right, except for the noble gases.


How does the atomic radius change from the left to the right horizontal row in the periodic table?

The atomic radius decreases from left to right across a period in the periodic table. This is due to the increasing number of protons in the nucleus, which pulls the electrons closer to the nucleus, resulting in a smaller atomic radius.

What happens to size of atoms while moving across the period?

Atomic Radius Decreases from left to right. From left to right the amount of valence shell electrons increases, maxing out at 8. These valence electrons are pulled by the positively charged nucleus, thus making it smaller from left to right.
