State and explain how the attraction between nuclei and outermost electrons varies across group 3 (2 marks)

Attraction between the nucleus and the outer electrons increases across a group because the proton number increases and the atomic radius decreases due to increased nuclear charge.Across a group shielding remains the same as all of the elements in that group have the same number of shells.
