Given below are two statements : Statement (I): The metallic radius of Al is less than that of Ga. Statement (II) : The ionic radius of ( Al ³⁺ ) is less than that of ( Ga ³⁺ ). In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

Quantrex Academy · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

( ) The metallic radius order of ( Al ~ &~ Ga ) is ( B Ga Al _ In T ) (due to poor shielding of d-subshell electrons) ( ) The ionic radius order of ( Al ⁺³ ~ &~ Ga ⁺³ ) is ( B ⁺³ Al ⁺³ Ga ⁺³ In ⁺³ T ⁺³ )

Given below are two statements : Statement (I): The metallic radius of Al is less than that of Ga. Statement (II) : The ionic radius of ( Al ³⁺ ) is less than that of ( Ga ³⁺ ). In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
