Answer
A is false but R is true.
Explanation — Atomic size decreases across a period (from left to right) in the periodic table. This is because, although electrons are being added, they are added to the same shell, and the increasing effective nuclear charge pulls the electrons closer to the nucleus. Hence, Assertion (A) is false.
As atomic number increases, the number of protons increases, which increases the effective nuclear charge. Hence, Reason (R) is true.
