ANSWER:

The melting and boiling points increase in order of increasing atomic number.

The size of the nucleus increases in order of increasing atomic number.

Ionization energy decreases in order of increasing atomic number.

Electronegativity decreases in order of increasing atomic number.

Electron Affinity decreases in order of increasing atomic number.

The reactivities decrease in order of increasing atomic number.

Step-by-step explanation:

NAME MELTING POINT BOILING POINT

Fluorine -220 -188

Chlorine -101 -35

Bromine -7.2 58.8

Iodine 114 184

Melting and Boiling points increase as shown above.

NAME COVALENT RADIUS IONIC RADIUS

Fluorine 71 133

Chlorine 99 181

Bromine 114 196

Iodine 133 220

Size increases as shown above.

NAME FIRST IONIZATION ENERGY

Fluorine 1681

Chlorine 1251

Bromine 1140

Iodine 1008

Ionization energy decreases as shown above.

NAME ELECTRONEGATIVITY

Fluorine 4

Chlorine 3

Bromine 2.8

Iodine 2.5

Electronegativity decreases as shown above.

NAME ELECTRON AFFINITY

Fluorine -328.0

Chlorine -349.0

Bromine -324.6

Iodine -295.2

Electron affinity decreases as shown above.

REACTIVITY

The reactivities of the halogens decrease. This is due to the fact that atomic radius increases in proportion with an increase of electronic energy levels. This decreases the pull for valence electrons of other atoms, minimizing reactivity.
