Answer:
b. Increase in nuclear charger tends to pull electrons closer to the nucleus.
The atomic radius of atoms generally decreases from left to right across a period. ... Within a period, protons are added to the nucleus as electrons are being added to the same principal energy level. These electrons are gradually pulled closer to the nucleus because of its increased positive charge.
