Question

The correct order of vanderwaals radius of f, cl, and br is

Answer 1

F << Cl < Br < I

we go top to bottom within a column, van der Waals radius expands



due to increase in effective nuclear charge from to right along the period radius decrease. Cl has an extra orbit. so it has largest radius.

Answer 2

Heya user!

The correct order of vanderwall's radius is :

☞ F << Cl < Br

( as we move from top to bottom vanderwalls radius increases)
