Question

Describe the reason for the variation of ionic radii along a period. 

Answer

Along a period, the number of electrons in the valence shell remains the same while the nuclear charge increases, causing the effective nuclear charge to increase. This attracts the electrons more strongly, leading to a decrease in ionic radii along a period.
