उत्तर
(i) F, Cl, Br belong to same group 17. Atomic size increase down the group. This is because new shells are added. Hence, Br has largest atomic radius because it has a shells compared to 3 and 2 in Cl and F respectively.
(ii) F is most reactive due to smaller size, high effective nuclear charge and high electro negativity.
