Answer:
The density of gallium would be greater than aluminium and boron.
Explanation:
Density:
Density is equal to the mass of substance divided by its volume.
Units:
SI unit of density is Kg/m3.
Other units are given below,
g/cm3, g/mL , kg/L
Formula:
D=m/v
D= density
m=mass
V=volume
Symbol:
The symbol used for density is called rho. It is represented by ρ. However letter D can also be used to represent the density.
As we move down the group densities increases because larger increase in mass occur with increase ion volume and greater sizes of elements down the group.
The boron, aluminium and gallium present in group thirteen. Boron is present in period two aluminium is present in period three and gallium is present in period four. So, atomic number of gallium is greater than boron and aluminium and it is appear as we move down the group. that's why gallium has larger size and greater value of density then boron and aluminium.
The value of density of gallium is 5.904 g/cm³.
