Why do same-charge ions shrink across a d series?
AAddition of a new shell
BPoor shielding by d electrons
CStrong shielding by d electrons
DFall in nuclear charge
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Poor shielding by d electrons
Each added d electron shields poorly, so the rising nuclear charge pulls the electrons in more strongly.
