Answer to Question 1

The electrons added as the transition element increase in atomic number are NOT being added to the outermost shell. They are being added to an inner shell where they shield the outer electrons from nuclear charge. The number of outermost electrons is constant. For each electron added across the period, an additional proton is also added. This keeps the effective nuclear charge roughly constant as the transition elements increase in atomic number within a given period. Therefore, the size of the transition elements within a period stays roughly constant.

Answer to Question 2

D
