NTA Abhyas NEET2020Chemistryp Block Elements (Group 13 & 14)Practice
The correct order of atomic radii in group 13 elements is
Options
- AB < Ga < Al < Tl < ln
- BB < Al < Ga < ln < Tl
- CB < Al < ln < Ga < Tl
- DB < Ga < Al < ln < Tl
Correct answer
D. B < Ga < Al < ln < Tl
Step-by-step solution
Ga is little smaller or have slightly lower atomic radius due to poor Screening effect by inner 3 d electrons . Elements B Ga Al In TI Atomic radii (pm) 85 135 143 167 170
