Atomic size generally

D. decreases as you move from left to right across a period

elements are classified into periods based on the number of energy shells.

elements that have the same number of energy shells fall into the same period.

as you go from left to right across a period, the atomic number increases. Atomic number is the number of protons. In ground state atoms the protons and electrons are the same.

so as you go across a period, the number of protons and electrons increase.

protons are positively charged and located in the nucleus. Electrons are negatively charged and are in energy shells. With higher number of protons in the nucleus, higher the positive charge in the nucleus. Then the force of attraction from the nucleus towards the electrons in the energy shells are higher.It will pull the energy shells more towards the nucleus making the atomic size smaller.

therefore atomic size decreases as you move from left to right across a period

Similarity between modern and mendeleev periodic table.
creativ13 [48]

Similarities between Mendeleev's periodic and Modern periodic table: Elements are arranged in groups and periods. Elements with similar properties are placed in the same group. Metals and non-metals are placed separately.

The major difference is that the elements in Mendeleev's periodic table were arranged by atomic mass and the modern periodic table arranges elements by atomic number. Of course as elements are constantly being discovered there were significantly fewer elements in Mendeleev's periodic table.
