What happens to the atomic radius as you move from left to right across a period in the periodic table?
The atomic radius increases
The atomic radius remains constant
The atomic radius decreases
There is no discernable pattern
Which factor primarily causes the decrease in atomic radius across a period?
Increase in electron shielding
Decrease in electron-electron repulsion
