Question

which has greater atomic radius gallium or vanadium??
​

Answer 1

Answer:

galliun has the greater atomic radius ..

Answer 2

The atomic radius of Vanadium is greater than that of Gallium.

Explanation:

Vanadium is denoted by the symbol V. It has the atomic number 23. It is a transition metal that is hard and silvery-grey in colour. Its atomic radius is 205 pm.

Gallium, represented by the symbol Ga, has an atomic number of 31. The atomic radii of Gallium is 187 pm.

Even though Gallium has more shells than Vanadium, it has smaller atomic radii because Gallium is located after the first transition series terminates. The 3d orbitals are filled by electrons in the first transition series. Gallium's effective nuclear charge rises due to the weak shielding effect of these d-electrons. As a result, the atomic radii of gallium decrease.
