In III group, from top to bottom, atomic size gradually increases due to increase in atomic number, and electrons enters into new shell. So, the order is B < Al < Ga < In < Tl. However, actual order is B < Ga < Al < In < Tl
due to poor shielding effect of d-orbitals in Ga. So, atomic radii of Ga is less than Al.
(1) B < Al < In < Ga < Tl - Density order In third group, boron has lowest atomic radii and lowest density.
