Atomic radius patterns are observed throughout the periodic table. Atomic size gradually decreases from left to right across a period of elements. This is because, within a period or family of elements, all electrons are added to the same shell. ... The valence electrons are held closer towards the nucleus of the atom.

TRENDS:
- The ionization energy of the elements within a period generally increases from left to right. This is due to valence shell stability.
- The ionization energy of the elements within a group generally decreases from top to bottom. This is due to electron shielding.
- The noble gases possess very high ionization energies because of their full valence shells as indicated in the graph. Note that helium has the highest ionization energy of all the elements.
