Solution
The correct option is CI−,Se2−,Br−,O2−,F− The correct order of decreasing ionic radius among the following anions would be I−>Se2−>Br−>O2−>F−
On moving down the group, the ionic radii increases as new shells of electrons are added. The radius of the isoelectronic species decreases with increasing charge.
