When looking at elements in the same period, why does increasing the effective nuclear charge make the atoms smaller?
It increases the force of attraction between the protons thus pulling the protons closer together and making the atom smaller

If reduces the number of main energy levels or shells thus making the atom smaller
It increases the force of repulsion the electrons have on each other thus causing the electrons to spread out and making the atom smaller

Why are cations smaller than their parent atoms?
when cations form they gain protons which increases the effective nuclear charge which increases the force of attraction of the nucleus on the electrons causing the electron cloud to shrink
when cations form they lose electrons which reduces the repulsion force between the electrons allowing the electron cloud to shrink.
Why are anions larger than their parent atoms?
when anions form they gain an additional outer shell thus making them larger
when anions form they gain electrons which increases the repulsion force between the electrons causing the electron cloud to expand.
