When hydrogen reacts with iodine is it balanced or unbalanced?

☆ionisation energy increases across a period from na -> ar☆ionisation energy decreases down a group from li -> fr☆ionic radius decreases across a period from na -> cl☆ionic radius increases down a groupfrom f -> ii hope it clarifies your doubts

Answerthe half-reaction having the greatest tendency to occur at the anode:     i₂(aq) + 2e⁻  ⇄ 2i⁻  ;   e = +0.53 v======oxidation occurs at the anode. we must therefore find the half-reaction with the greatest tendency to oxidize.the given values of e are reduction potentials (the form of the half-reactions are of reduction).the lower the reduction potential, the higher the potential to oxidize. the half-cell with the lowest reduction potential will have the greatest tendency to oxidize at the anode.the half-reaction having the greatest tendency must be    i₂(aq) + 2e⁻  ⇄ 2i⁻    e = +0.53 vbecause its reduction potential is the lowest out of the three.

Idon't mean to be a smart alec, length of atoms' bonds is the simplest way to define it.
