Rank in the order of increasing ionic radius: Br - , Te 2- , I - smallest→largest
Please explain. Thanks.
ok first look at your period table
from left to right -> the ionic radii is decreasing
from top to bottom the ionic radii is increasing
so when an element have a negative charge (anion) on the top which mean it is gain an electron
so it is going to be bigger with the one with positive charge (cation)
the number of cation show how much electron it have lose. so the radii size is decreasing
hope this help
