Atomic radius usually decreases from left to right across a period of the periodic table.
In the periodic table, the atomic size increases with every period due to addition of an extra shell. The atomic size decreases with every group since no. of electrons and protons are increased with every group across a period leading to extra electrostatic force of attraction between electrons and the nucleus and thus shrinking the size of the atom.
The smallest atom is lithium, as it has a smaller atomic radius compared to fluorine. This is because as you move across a period on the periodic table, atomic radius decreases due to increased nuclear charge pulling the electrons closer to the nucleus.
Ionization energy is a periodic function of atomic number because it follows periodic trends in the periodic table. As you move across a period from left to right, ionization energy generally increases due to increasing nuclear charge. Similarly, as you move down a group, ionization energy generally decreases due to increasing atomic size. These trends repeat as you move through each period, making ionization energy a periodic function of atomic number.
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.
I'm guessing you are acking Atomic Radius. The atomic radius decreases and you go left to right because the shielding effect from the lower electrons stays almost constent while the elements gain more protons adding to the effective nuclear charge pulling the electrons closer to the nucleus.
Atomic size decreases across a period
The atomic number increases
the atomic number.
As you move across the periodic table from left to right (across a period), the atomic radius of the elements tends to decrease.
Along a period, nuclear charge increases. hence, atomic radius decreases.
Along a period, nuclear charge increases. hence, atomic radius decreases.
When going left to right across a period, the atomic number of element increases.
Atomic size tends to decrease as you move from left to right across a period on the periodic table. This is due to increasing effective nuclear charge, which attracts the electrons more strongly and pulls them closer to the nucleus.
Atomic number, ionization energy and electronegativity
Patterns in the periodic table include the periodicity of atomic properties such as atomic number, atomic mass, electronegativity, and ionization energy. The table is organized by increasing atomic number and elements with similar properties are grouped together in columns called groups or families. Trends in properties of elements within a period or group can be observed based on their position in the periodic table.
Across any period, the properties of elements gradually change. This gradual change is called a periodic trend.
Down a period the atomic radius increases as the number of shells (or energy levels) increases. Across a period the atomic radius decreases as the effective nuclear charge increases.
