As you move across a period in the Periodic Table from left to right, the atomic radius decreases due to the increasing positive charge of the nucleus. This increased nuclear charge attracts the electrons more strongly, pulling them closer to the nucleus and resulting in a smaller atomic size. Additionally, since electrons are added to the same energy level without significant increase in shielding, the effective nuclear charge felt by the outermost electrons increases, further reducing the atomic radius.
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.
Down a group, the atomic radius increases as the number of shells or energy levels increases.

The atomic radius decrease, with several exceptions in periods 6 and 5.
The atomic radius generally decreases across a period of the periodic table from left to right due to increased nuclear charge pulling electrons closer to the nucleus. This results in a stronger attractive force, leading to a smaller atomic radius.

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.
No, chlorine has a larger atomic radius than phosphorus. Atomic radius decreases as you move from left to right across a period in the periodic table, and phosphorus is to the left of chlorine in the periodic table.
The atomic radius decrease, with several exceptions in periods 6 and 5.
the larger the highest energy level number, the larger the atomic radius (Apex)
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.
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.
