why do atomic radius decrease from left to right in a periodic table

Answers

Answered by tosushilpandey

When we go from left to right, the number of protons increases and so the nuclear charge increases. When this nuclear charge increases, the nucleus starts to strongly attract the cloud of electrons towards itself, and therefore the atomic radius decreases.
