What trend in shielding occurs as you move across a period on a periodic table?Explain what causes this trend.Group of answer choicesThere is an increase in shielding causing the size of the atom to increaseThere is a decrease in the shielding caused the size of the atom to decreaseThere is no additional shielding because there are no additional energy levels when you move left and right on the periodic tableThere is no additional shielding so it causes the size of the atom to get bigger then smaller then bigger again.

Solution

As you move across a period on the periodic table, there is a decrease in shielding causing the size of the atom to decrease. This trend occurs because as you move from left to right across a period, the number of protons in the nucleus increases, resulting in a stronger positive charge. This increased positive charge attracts the electrons more strongly, pulling them closer to the nucleus and reducing the size of the atom. Therefore, the trend in shielding is a decrease, leading to a decrease in the size of the atom as you move across a period on the periodic table.
