The atomic radii of the elements of second period are given below:

2nd period elements B Be O N Li C
Atomic radii (pm) 80 90 74 75 123 77

(a) Arrange the elements in the decreasing order of their atomic radii, keeping the element with the largest atomic radius first. 
(b) Find out whether the arrangement is in the pattern of a period or not? 
(c) From this data, infer how the atomic size of the elements changed as one goes from left to right in a period.
