Q.6) Br has the greatest effective nuclear charge.
The periodic table tendency for effective nuclear charge: Increase across a period (due to increasing nuclear charge with no accompanying increase in shielding effect).
Q.7 ) as one progresses down a group on the periodic table, the ionization energy will likely decrease since the valence electrons are farther away from the nucleus and experience greater shielding. They experience a weaker attraction to the positive charge of the nucleus.
