Answer:

Ga

Step-by-step explanation:

Gallium (Ga) has a bigger atom than Boron (B). Atomic size generally increases as you move down a group in the periodic table (from top to bottom) because there are more energy levels (shells) in the atoms of elements in the lower rows. Gallium is located below Boron in the periodic table, so it has more energy levels and a larger atomic radius.
