Generally the atomic and ionic radii increase with increase in atomic number down the group. But the atomic size of aluminium and gallium is almost the same. This is because

Ionization enthalpy decreases down the group due to gradual increases in atomic size .However the deviation is observed as we move from

Metallic Character The ability of an atom to donate electrons and form positive ion (cation) is known as electropositivity or metallic character. Down the group, metallic character increases due to increase in atomic size and across the period, from left to right electropositivity decreases due to decrease in atomic size. Non-Metallic Character The ability of an atom to accept electrons to form a negative ion (anion) is called non-metallic character or electronegativity. The elements having high electro-negativity have a higher tendency to gain electrons and form anion.Down the group, electronegativity decreases due to increase in atomic size andacross the period, from left to right electronegativity increases due to decreasein atomic size Identify the reason for the gradual change in electronegativity in halogensdown the group.
