Answer:
It decreases
Explanation:
As one moves from left to right on the periodic table, the radius of atoms reduces due to the nuclear pull.
- The size of an atom estimated by the atomic radius is taken as half of the internuclear distance between the two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements.
- Across a period, atomic radius decreases progressively from left to right.
- This is due to the increasing nuclear charge without attendant increase in the number of electronic shell.
