Answer:
The atomic radii of the three
elements are: N(70 pm); P(110 pm) and As(121 pm). In moving from N to P, there
is effective shielding by intervening s and p-electrons while it is comparatively
poor by intervening -electrons which are involved in moving from P to As. As a
result, the increase in atomic radius is less in this case.
