    Direction for: In each of the following questions a statement of Assertion is given followed by a corresponding statement of Reason just below it. Of the statements mark the correct answer as

    Assertion: \[Al\] and \[Ga\] have nearly same atomic radii. Reason: \[Al\]   and  \[Ga\]    show   diagonal relationship.

    A) If both Assertion: and Reason: are true and the Reason: is the correct explanation of the Assertion:

    B) If both Assertion: and Reason: are true but the Reason: is not the correct explanation of the Assertion:

    C) If Assertion: is true but Reason: is false

    D) If both Assertion: and Reason: are false

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Al and Ga both belong to 13 group. In general, on moving down a group atomic radii increases. But this is not true here because of the poor shielding of electrons in Ga. Thus, Al and Ga have almost same atomic radii. Hence, Reason: is false.
