 The trend of atomic radius in a period and a group is :

1. Generally decreases from right to left across a period and increases down a group.
2. Generally increases from left to right across a period and decreases down a group.
3. Generally decreases from left to right across a period and increases down a group.
4. Generally remains same from left to right across a period and increases down a group.

Anions generally possess larger atomic radii than their corresponding neutral atoms. This is primarily due to:

1. An anion has a fewer number of electrons than its parent atom
2. An anion has the same number of electrons as its parent atom.
3. An anion has a higher effective nuclear charge. 
4. An anion has more electrons than its parent atom

The explanation for the fact that the first ionization enthalpy of sodium is lower than that of magnesium but its second ionization enthalpy is higher than that of magnesium would be :

1. Pressure and volume
2. Lustre and brightness
3. Atomic size and effective nuclear charge
4. Availability in nature

 The ionization enthalpy of the main group elements tends to decrease down a group due to, 

1) Increase in the atomic size of elements and increase in the shielding effect

2) Decrease in the atomic size of elements and increase in the shielding effect

3) Increase in the atomic size of elements and decrease in the shielding effect

4) Decrease in the atomic size of elements and decrease in the shielding effect
