D Doa110 doa110 10+ Year Member 15+ Year Member Sep 23, 2008 #2 Atomic radii decreases from left to right, and down to up, and that's why as we go from left to right there will increase in electronegativity, electronaffinity....> S>F>Cl>Br>I Upvote 0 Downvote

Sea of ASH Full Member 10+ Year Member 15+ Year Member Sep 23, 2008 #3 ya im pretty sure its a mistake... it has to be F < Cl < S since F is the smallest atom Upvote 0 Downvote
ZenoVT Power Ranger 10+ Year Member 15+ Year Member Sep 23, 2008 #4 Yeah, I believe F is the smallest of the 3 also. Upvote 0 Downvote
D Doa110 doa110 10+ Year Member 15+ Year Member Sep 23, 2008 #5 Oops..sorry...Correct! F is the smallest. Although I wrote that the atomic radii decreases from down to up, still had the elements back ward! 😴 Upvote 0 Downvote
