Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties - Result Question 10
####10. The correct order of atomic radii in group 13 elements is
(a) B $<Al<$ In $<Ga<Tl$
(b) $B<Al<Ga<$ In $<$ Tl
(c) B $<Ga<Al<$ In $<Tl$
(d) B $<$ Ga $<Al<Tl<$ In
Show Answer
Solution:
- (c) Due to poor shielding effect of $3 d$ electrons in $Ga$, the atomic radii of $Ga<Al$. Thus, the correct order of atomic radii is $B<$ $Ga<A l<I n<T l$.
