As of Loong's suggestion, I'd put the answer removing it from comment section: The name should be 4,4-dibromo-3,5-dichloro-2,5-difluoro-3,5-diiodo-pentan-2-ol as Maurice pointed out. However, keep in mind that there are 3 chiral centers within the molecule. But, the indicated name is okay since stereochemistry of the molecule is not shown.

It is not.
Presenting the order of ionic radii like that is useless.
Ionic radius of a given ion is not constant and mainly rely on crystal structure (coordination environment, more precisely) and used experimental techniques (crystal structure determination and theoretical calculations).
As a consequence, you can only compare homogeneous data.
Proposing the ...

If you suspect that there is something different going on here, and I believe you are right.
My take, in the presence of lab light, $\ce{Ag2O}$ and $\ce{H2O}$ actually results, in the formation of the hydroxyl radical ($\ce{.OH}$) and the hydrogen atom radical ($\ce{.H}$) via the creation of a powerful photocatalyst couple $\ce{Ag2O-Ag}$ as outlined in this ...
