Question:

Given below are the pairs of group 13 elements showing their relation in terms of atomic radius. $(\mathrm{B}<\mathrm{Al}),(\mathrm{Al}<\mathrm{Ga}),(\mathrm{Ga}<\mathrm{In})$ and $(\mathrm{In}<\mathrm{Tl})$ Identify the elements present in the incorrect pair and in that pair find out the element (X) that has higher ionic radius $\left(\mathrm{M}^{3+}\right)$ than the other one. The atomic number of the element (X) is

Show Hint

The atomic radius and ionic radius depend on the atomic number and the periodic trends.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

1. Incorrect pair: - $\mathrm{Al}<\mathrm{Ga}$
2. Ionic radius comparison: - $\mathrm{Al}^{3+}<\mathrm{Ga}^{3+}$ 
- The atomic number of $\mathrm{Ga}$ is 31. 
Therefore, the correct answer is (1) 31.
