In a period, atom with smallest radius generally is:
Options
- AChalcogen
- BHalogen
- CAerogen
- DPnicogen
Correct answer
B. Halogen
Step-by-step solution
In a period on moving left to right Z effective increases, so atomic size decreases. For inert gases, Van der waal radius is considered, so it is bigger in size as compared to halogens.
