Explain the variation of atomic radii in group 13 elements.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Aluminium has a sharp increase in size from that of boron. This is due to greater screening effect produced by the 8 electrons of L-shell in aluminium. Gallium has a smaller atomic radius due to completely filled 3d subshell which cannot shield the outermost electrons from the nuclear force of attraction.
