⭐⭐⭐ the increase in nuclear charge overcomes the repulsion between the additional electrons in the valence level. Therefore, the size of atoms decreases as one moves across a period from left to right in the periodic table.⭐⭐⭐

Answer:
It's pretty simple!
Explanation:
As we move from left to right across a period, the number of shells remain the same. As the atomic number increases, the nuclear charge increases and there is a greater attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. The atomic size, therefore, decreases across a period.
