1.	As the atomic number of halogens increases. The halogensA. Lose the outermost electrons less readilyB. `Become lighter in colourC. Become less denserD. Gain electrons less readily
Answer» Correct Answer - D As the atomic number increase electronegativity decreases. Hence, tendency to gain electron decreases.
