Question

The reason(s) for small radius of Ga compared to Al is/are :
  1. poor screening effect of d and f orbitals.
  2. increase in nuclear charge
  3. presence of higher orbital
  4. higher atomic number

A
higher atomic number
B
increase in nuclear charge
C
presence of higher orbital
D
poor screening effect of d and f orbitals.
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Ga(31)=[Ar]4s23d104p1
Al(13)=1s22s22p63s23p1
Small radius of Ga to poor screening effect of d, f orbital and increase in nuclear charge.
