The reason for small radius of Ga compared to Al is:
(i) poor screening effect of d and f orbitals.
(ii) increase in nuclear charge.
(iii) presence of higher orbitals.
(iv) higher atomic number.

उत्तर
(i) poor screening effect of d and f orbitals.
(ii) increase in nuclear charge.
Explanation:
The additional 10 d-electrons offer poor screening effect for the outer electrons from the increased fluclear charge in Gallium. Hence, atomic radius of Gallium is less than that of aluminium.
