The atomic radius decrease, with several exceptions in periods 6 and 5.
The atomic radius decrease from left to right.
As you move across the periodic table from left to right (across a period), the atomic radius of the elements tends to decrease.
1. In a period is a trend of decrease from left to right but it is not absolute.2. In a group the atomic radius increase moving down.
When there is an anion (negative charge) the radius will be larger because it is more full whereas it will be smaller if it is a positive charge because of less electrons. ex largest to smallest radius (K-,K, K+)

from left to right the atomic radius decreases as the electrons that get added are added in the same shell as they are in the same period. the shielding effect remains constant but the proton number increases which inturn increases the effective nuclear pull on the electrons bringing the electrons closer to the nuclei hence decreasing the radius of the atom
the atomic radius decreses from left to right in periodic table due to increase in the number of succesive element the electrons of the outermost shell are more attracted towards nucleus and the atomic radius or atomic size decreases.
The atomic radius decrease from left to right.
An increase in atomic number would be accompanied by a decrease in radius, and an increase in electronegativity.
As you move across the periodic table from left to right (across a period), the atomic radius of the elements tends to decrease.
In a group the ionization energy decrease when the atomic radius increase; in a period this relation is not generally valid.
Argon doesnt have the smallest atomic radius, its chlorine.Argon has the largest atomic radius in period 3.
Decreases. Look at the images under atomic radius, on wikipedia.

Argon is the atom that has the smallest radius in Period 3. As you go cross Period 3 from left to right, the atomic radii of the elements decrease. The elements in Period 3 from left to right begin with sodium and ends with argon.
