    The atom of smallest atomic radius among the following is

    A)  Na                                        

    B)  K

    C)  Br                                          

    D)  Li

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     When we move from left to right in the Periodic Table, atomic radius decreases. While in a group atomic radius increases from up to down. Moreover, the radius of alkali metals is metallic radius and that of halogens is covalem radius and metallic radius > covalent radius Thus, Br has the smallest atomic radius.
