Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
Correct order of size is 
Atomic size depends mainly upon 
and shell number.
Generally on moving down the group electron affinity decreases and on moving across the period electron affinity increase.
In the periodic table Cl has maximum electron affinity. Halogen has higher electron affinity than Chalcogen.
