Remember that a cation will be smaller than its neutral atom, and an anion will be larger than its neutral atom. This would automatically eliminate answer choices A and D.

Also keep in mind that atomic radii decreases from left to right as you move along a periodic table. It also decreases from bottom up.
Atomic radii increases as you move from right to left and as you go from up to down.

As bromine is higher up in the periodic table than Iodine, it would have a smaller radius. Iodine would have a larger radius.

The correct answer is B. Br

In an ionic compound, the size of the ions affects the internuclear distance (the distance between the centers of adjacent ions)

Elena L [17]

Answer:

RbI<RbBr<RbCl<RbF

Explanation:

As stated in the question, the latice energy depends on the relative size of the ions. When the action size is constant as in the question, the lattice energy now depends on the relative of the anions. The order of increase in ionic sizes among the halide ions is fluoride<Chloride<Bromide<Iodide. This order of increasing size means that the lattice energy will decrease accordingly as shown in the answer.
