उत्तर
In case of transition elements, ions of the same charge in a given series show progressive decrease in radius with increasing atomic number. As the new electron enters a d orbital each time the nuclear charge increases by unity. The shielding effect of a d electron is not that effective, hence the net electrostatic attraction between the nuclear charge and the outermost electron increases and the ionic radius decreases.
