  4. D Br
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Se

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The atomic size increases down the group, as a result of increase in the number of quantum shells and decreases along the period from left to right. Therefore, the increasing order of atomic size is \(\mathrm{Cl} \lt \mathrm{S} \lt \mathrm{Br} \lt \mathrm{Se}\).
