In process-I- Cl-x2212-gets the nearest inert gas configuration -amp- the size of the product is less than the reactant-xA0-Similarly- in processes III -amp- IV- S-x2212- -amp- K gains nearest inert gas configuration consequently their size decreases- However- in process II- Na- having an electronic configuration releases an electron and the size of the product increased-Hence- the correct option is I- II and III-
