bandwidth /speed available for each node is divided.... so more numbers.. less speed....
otherwise... should not affect

This depends on whether your computer is connect to a hub or a switch/router. With hubs there are nothing more than a bandwidth slicer and the performance of the network goes gradually down as more nodes are added and there are collisions between nodes. Hubs are mostly obsolete these days but there are still many in service and you can still buy them, although no informed buyer would as switches are the same price.
Switches are much better able to manage multiple ethernet connections and collisions don't occur as the switch isolates each line and forwards on the packets to their respective destinations. Routers use the same technology as switches.
So essentially unless your connected to older, hub technology, performance doesn't degrade on ethernet networks.

Depends on the configuration and the transport bandwidth of the inter-connections between nodes.
Ethernet connections are usally dropped out of TDM and SONET (sycronous optical network) transport rings.
A shared gateway can create a bottleneck as well.

The network gradually slows down becouse the resources are divided between the nodes(like badwidth and internet connection).

It will slow down the network data transfer when more nodes are using at the same time.

The bandwidth available for each client is decreased as the number of clients increase so that the network speed decreases for each user.

'More nodes' is ambiguous.... it all depends on the actual number and the amount of traffic.
I've designed networks with 100baseT for 4 computers, and those with simple 10baseT for hundreds.
