    Which of the following pairs has almost same atomic radii?

    A) \[Al,Ga\]         

    B)        \[Be,Mg\]          

    C)        \[Mg,Al\]            

    D)        \[B,Be\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Electronic configuration of \[\therefore \] and \[\frac{1}{\lambda }=109678\times {{(1)}^{2}}\left[ \frac{1}{{{(1)}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{(2)}^{2}}} \right]c{{m}^{-1}}\] are written as \[=\frac{109678\times 3}{4}c{{m}^{-1}}\] \[\lambda =\frac{4\times {{10}^{7}}\times {{10}^{-7}}}{3\times 109678}cm\] Electronic configuration of Ga exhibits that it contains 10 electrons in d-orbitals which do not screen the nucleus effectively because of the large size of d-orbitals. Consequently, the electrons are attracted by a greater force towards nucleus. Hence, the atomic radii of Ga decreases or Ga has almost same radii as that of \[=121.65nm.\].
