| what happens when you move down a group on the periodic table? |
The atomic radius increases because protons are added, but so are new energy shells of electrons. The new energy shells provide shielding, allowing the valence electrons to experience only a minimal amount of the protons' positive charge |

| what happens when you move from left to right on the period of the periodic table? |
the atomic radius decreases becauuse he nucleus of the atom gains protons, increasing the positive charge of the nucleus and increasing the attractive force of the nucleus upon the electrons |
