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
- AB and D only
- BA and C only
- CB only
- 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. ( F Cl Br I ) (Covalent radius) ( Cl F Br I ) (Electron affinity) ( F ⁻ Cl ⁻ Br ⁻ I ⁻ )(Ionic radius) ( F Cl Br I ( I ^ st . ) ionization energy ) Electron affinity order is irregular.
