The correct order of atomic radii in group 13 elements is
B < Ga < Al < Tl < In
B < Al < Ga < In < Tl
B < AI < In < Ga < T1
B < Ga < Al < In < Tl
As we learnt that
Isolation Energy of Boron Family -
Does not decreases regularly down the group
- wherein
Discontinuity between Al and Ga, and In and Tl is due to inability of d and f electrons (low screening effect) to compensate the increase in nuclear charge
In group 13 the order of atomic radius is not regular due to transition contraction.
Option 1)
B < Ga < Al < Tl < In
This is incorrect.
Option 2)
B < Al < Ga < In < Tl
This is incorrect.
Option 3)
B < AI < In < Ga < T1
This is incorrect.
Option 4)
B < Ga < Al < In < Tl
This is correct.
