Answer:
The C-X bond strength decreases with an increase of the size of the halogen (X) because the size of the p orbital of the halogen increases as well. Thus, the p orbital becomes more diffused and the overlap with the orbital of the carbon deteriorates. As a result, the C-X bond is weakend and elongated.
