Answer:

smaller, greater

Explanation:

Moving from left to right in the periodic table, we notice that the magnitude of nuclear charge increases with increasing atomic number.

Recall that across the period, nuclear charge increases without a corresponding increase in the number of shells hence the size of the atom (atomic radius) contracts due to a greater pull of the nuclear charge on the electrons.
