In the periodic table from left to right in a period, the atomic volume

1. Decreases
2. Increases
3. Remains same
4. First decrease then increases

Correct answer: First decrease then increases

Solution

As we move from left to right in a period, atomic volume first decreases due to increasing nuclear charge pulling electrons closer, and then increases slightly for noble gases due to their closed-shell configuration.
