The correct order of atomic radii in group 13 elements is:

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Normally, atomic radii increase down a group. However, in Group 13, there is an anomaly between and . Gallium () comes after the filling of orbitals. The electrons provide poor shielding, which leads to a higher effective nuclear charge on the outer electrons of , causing its radius to be slightly smaller than that of .Order: .
