Because there are more shells, when there are more shells then you can't pull it closer to the center of the atom.

How does atomic radii increase or decrease in the table?
atomic radii increases from left to right in the periodic table from metal to non metal in the right
Do the elements to the right of the periodic table have small or large radii?
Across a period the atomic size decreases. Hence elements in the right side of the periodic table have small size / radii.
Which characteristics both generally decrease in period three from left to right?
Atomic radii decreases from left to right in the periodic table
Which atom has the smallest atomic radii?
Fluorine has the smallest atomic radii because it is towards the right of the periodic table and on top.
What are the characteristics of a period in the periodic table?
Elements in a period all have the same number of electron shells (excepting the transition elements). Also, electronegativity increases left to right and up, and atomic radii increase right to left and down.
How does atomic radii increase or decrease in the table?
atomic radii increases from left to right in the periodic table from metal to non metal in the right
Do the elements to the right of the periodic table have small or large radii?
Across a period the atomic size decreases. Hence elements in the right side of the periodic table have small size / radii.
How do atomic radii change from left to right across a horizontal row of the periodic table and what is the main reason?
Atomic radii decreases on moving from left to right as the effective nuclear charge increases.
Where are atoms with the largest and smallest atomic radii found?
The atoms with the largest atomic radii are found in the lower right side of the periodic table. Smallest atoms are found in the higher left part of the periodic table. He has the smallest atomic radii.
Which characteristics both generally decrease in period three from left to right?
Atomic radii decreases from left to right in the periodic table
Do protons shrink when moving them left to right the periodic table?
No. Atomic radii shrink. Protons never shrink.
How do atomic numbers and atomic masses increase in the periodic table?
The atomic number and atomic masses increase as you move from left to right.
What occurs as you move from the left to the right on the periodic table?
Many properties change as you move from left to right on the periodic table. For example: atomic number increases; electronegativity increases; atomic radii decrease etc. etc.
Which atom has the smallest atomic radii?
Fluorine has the smallest atomic radii because it is towards the right of the periodic table and on top.
What happens to the atomic size of the atoms as you go from left to right of the periodic table?
The atomic radius decrease from left to right in the periodic table.
What are the characteristics of a period in the periodic table?
Elements in a period all have the same number of electron shells (excepting the transition elements). Also, electronegativity increases left to right and up, and atomic radii increase right to left and down.
What is the trend from left to right for atomic mass on the periodic table?
The atomic weight (not mass) increase from left to right in a period.
