Given below are the pairs of group 13 elements showing their relation in terms of atomic radius. (B < Al), (Al < Ga), (Ga < ln) and (ln < Tl). Identify the elements present in the incorrect pair and in that pair find out the element (X) that has higher ionic radius (M³⁺) than the other one. The atomic number of the element (X) is

Answer: (1)

Solution

Correct order is B<Ga<Al<In≈Tl. Incorrect pair is (Al<Ga). Ga³⁺ has higher ionic radius than Al³⁺. X=Ga, atomic number 31
