Select the factor (s) that may be responsible for the ionization energy within a period. The valence electrons are further from the nucleus when moving from left to right. The valence electrons remain at the same distance from the nucleus when moving left to right. The diameter of the atom decreases somewhat as electrons are added. The attractive force of the nucleus increases.

I believe the correct factor concerning ionization energy within a period would be that the valence electrons essentially remain at about the same distance from the atomic nucleus when moving from left to right on the periodic table. This is because the Atomic number increases by a value of 1, and depending whether or not the maximum number of electrons are found within the shell, it may have another shell or not.
