Halogens are elements that can be found in group 7 of the periodic table. They have 7 electrons in their outer shell and thus can form only a single covalent bond with other elements. Examples of halogens include chlorine, bromine and fluorine. A carbon compound that is covalently bonded with chlorine or bromine is called a halocarbon.
Atomic size decreases in a period but the ionization energy and electronegativity increases across a period.
<h3>
Describe the trends in the atomic size, ionization energy and electronegativity?</h3>
Atomic radius decreases across a period because of nuclear charge increases whereas atomic radius of atoms generally increases from top to bottom within a group because there is again an increase in the positive nuclear charge.
Ionization energy increases when we move from left to right across an period and decreases from top to bottom.
Electronegativity also increases from left to right across a period and decreases from top to bottom.
So we can conclude that atomic size decreases in a period but the ionization energy and electronegativity increases across a period.

Secondary growth is important to plants because it involves thickening of the plant axis.It also increased amounts of vascular tissue.
I tried sorry if it’s not worded perfect :)
