Question
How would you account for the following:
There is a gradual decrease in the atomic sizes of transition elements in a series with increasing atomic numbers.
✓

Answer

There is a gradual decrease in the atomic sizes of transition elements in a series with increasing atomic numbers due to poor shielding effect of d-electrons, the net electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and the outermost electrons increases.
