D-block contraction

Reason behind some elements' Anomalous behaviour

The d-block contraction is a term used in chemistry to describe the effect of having full d orbitals on the period 4 elements. The elements in question are gallium, germanium, arsenic, selenium, bromine, and krypton. Their electronic configurations include completely filled d orbitals (d10). The d-block contraction is best illustrated by comparing some properties of the group 13 elements to highlight the effect on gallium.
