But remember there are some other facts , which sometimes , in some cases dominate the periodicity of properties in periodic table of elements.
In case of iodine, The nucleus has greater number of protons, which attracts the 1S shell ( which is nearest to it ) more than in case of fluorine. You can say that the 1S shell in case of iodine shrinks as a result of attractive forces from the nucleus.
Thus 1S shell of iodine is smaller !!!!
