Detailed Solution

The given statement is true.

  • The outermost shell of inert gases is complete. 
  • They have the maximum number of electrons in their outermost orbit thus the electronic repulsions are maximum. 
  • The effect of nuclear pull over the valence electrons is not seen. 
  • Hence, the size of the atom of inert gas is bigger than that of halogens but not bigger than the alkali metal of the same period.
