Answer:
Due to poor
shielding of the valence electrons in \[Ga\] by the inner d-electrons, the
effective nuclear charge is high in comparison to Al. As a result, the
attractive force with which the valence electrons are attracted is high. This
brings contraction in size and hence, atomic size of \[Ga\] is lower in
comparison to Al.
