NO ANSWER 

   In Hydrogen halides
Down the group affinity of hydrogen towards the halogen atom decreases as the size of the halogen atom increases
 Thermal stability & BDE of  HF>HCl>HBr>HI
In halogens
Down the group as the size of halogen increases X – X bond enthalpy must decrease.
     Expected trend
 F2   >   Cl2   >   Br2   >   I2
But due to very small size of fluorine atoms,  :F·  ··  ·     F·  ··  ·:   the repulsions between the lone pairs of adjacent atoms is very high.  
    F – F bond enthalpy is abnormally low. 
Experimental Trend Cl2   >   Br2   >  F2   >   I2
