Shielding effect is pronounced more in the 3d elements. The general trend of elements in the same period is that the atomic radii decreases from left to right. In case of 3d elements, as we move from left to right, electrons are added to the inner 3d orbital which pushes the outer 4s orbital. Thus, the atomic radii is almost constant for these elements.
