How does effective nuclear charge effect size?
In Periodic Table
Across a period, effective nuclear charge increases as electron shielding remain constant. A higher effective nuclear charge causes greater attractions to the electrons, pulling the electron cloud closer to the nucleus which results in a smaller atomic radius.
Down the group, Effective nuclear charge decreases. This causes fewer attractions to electrons which results in a larger atomic radius. So the size of the atom increases.
