Question

Ionization potential increases over a period from left to right because- [1] a. Atomic radius and nuclear charge increase b. Atomic radius and nuclear charge decrease c. Atomic radius increase and nuclear charge decrease d. Atomic radius decreases and nuclear charge increases.

Answer 1

Answer:

d atomic radius decreases and nuclear charge increases

Explanation:

from left  to right in a period the electrons are added to the same outermost shell due do which atomic  radius decreases and  nuclear charge increases resulting in increase in ionization potential
