The effect of increasing nuclear charge is greater than that of increasing electronic charge. ... Thus, the valence electrons will be very close towards the nucleus of the atom; due to this the atomic size decreases. Thus, the size of the transition-metal atoms decreases slightly from left to right in the periodic table.
