23. In the reaction [Co(NH₃)₅Cl]²⁺ + [Cr(H₂O)₆]²⁺ → [Co(NH₃)₅(H₂O)]²⁺ + [Cr(H₂O)₅Cl]²⁺, the chloride ion ends up attached to Cr. This is classic evidence for which mechanism? (A) Inner-sphere electron transfer (B) Outer-sphere electron transfer (C) Berry pseudorotation (D) Associative ligand substitution (E) Reductive elimination

6. The atomic radius of aluminum (Al) is 143 pm, while that of gallium (Ga) is 122 pm. Why is Al larger than Ga, despite Ga being below Al in Group 13? (A) Ga is a transition metal, which inherently has a smaller radius than p-block elements like Al. (B) The addition of the 3d subshell in Ga provides poor shielding, leading to a higher effective nuclear charge that pulls valence electrons closer. (C) Al has more electron shells occupied than Ga, causing its atomic radius to be larger. (D) Ga has a more stable electron configuration that allows its valence shell to contract more easily than Al's. (E) Ga is larger than Al.
