atomic size decreases across a period
increase from left to right across a period.
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.
It decreases as you move from left to right because there is an increase in positive charge in the nucleus as you go from left-to-right. Each time you go over an element it has one more electron and proton added to the principal energy level, so the nucleus pull increases and it holds the valence electron in tighter.
Decreases
The trends from left to right in a period increase (nuclear charge), and moving down a group decreases (shielding).

Atomic size generally increases as you go down a group

Atomic radius usually decreases from left to right across a period of the periodic table.
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 going left to right across a period, the atomic number of element increases.
Atomic radius decreases across a period from left to right, except for the noble gases.
It decreases as you move from left to right because there is an increase in positive charge in the nucleus as you go from left-to-right. Each time you go over an element it has one more electron and proton added to the principal energy level, so the nucleus pull increases and it holds the valence electron in tighter.
