The property/properties that show irregularity in first four...

The property/properties that show irregularity in first four elements of group-17 is/are :
(A) Covalent radius
(B) Electron affinity
(C) Ionic radius
(D) First ionization energy
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. AB and D only
  2. BA and C only
  3. CB only
  4. DA, B, C and D

Correct answer

C. B only

Step-by-step solution

The order of first four elements of group-17 are as follows.(\mathrm{F} < \mathrm{Cl} < \mathrm{Br} < I\mathrm{I}) (Covalent radius)(\mathrm{Cl} > \mathrm{F} > \mathrm{Br} > I\mathrm{I}) (Electron affinity)(\mathrm{F}^{-} < \mathrm{Cl}^{-} < \mathrm{Br}^{-} < I\mathrm{I}^{-})(Ionic radius)(\mathrm{F} > \mathrm{Cl} > \mathrm{Br} > I\mathrm{I}\left(I\mathrm{I}^{\text{st }}\right.) ionization energy)Electron affinity order is irregular.
