Proton number increase from left to right
The shell number with electron are same
The nucleus attraction to the electron increase
So size of atom are decrease
Argon has a big size because it is octet
The shell of argon are full with electron.
Therefore there are no in or out electron into
argon shell.
Ability to pull electron increase from left to
right in period 3
Size of atom are decrease so the ability of
nucleus are increase
That why electronegativity also increase
