Explain
As you go across a period, electrons are added to the same energy level. At the same time, protons are being added to the nucleus. The concentration of more protons in the nucleus creates a higher effective nuclear charge. In other words, there is a stronger force of attraction pulling the electrons closer to the nucleus resulting in a smaller atomic radius.Also, Anions are larger than their respective atoms as electron-electron repulsion forces them to spread further apart.
Hence, Cl has the smallest radius.
