Explain given reason why although the nuclear charge in atoms increases in moving from left to right in a period as well as in moving from top to bottom in a group in the Modern periodic table, but the size of the atoms does not vary similarly like nuclear charge in both situations.

Important Questions on Periodic Classification of Elements
