Gradual addition of electronic shells in the noble gases causes a decrease in their:

Aionisation energy
Correct Answer
Batomic radius
Cboiling point
Ddensity

Solution

Gradual addition of electronic shells in the noble gases causes a decrease in their ionisation energy. On moving down the group, number of shells and atomic radius increases. Shielding of outer electrons by inner electrons increases. This decreases the force of attraction between outermost electrons and nucleus. Effective nuclear charge and ionisation enthalpy decreases.
