The ionization enthalpy value of $\mathrm{Ga}$ is higher than $\mathrm{Al}$ due to inability of $d$ - and $f$-electrons, which have screening effect, to compensate the increase in nuclear charge.

Boron has small size and sum of $\Delta_{i} \mathrm{H}_{1}+\Delta_{i} \mathrm{H}_{2}+\Delta_{i} \mathrm{H}_{3}$ is very high. Boron does not form $\mathrm{B}^{3+}$ ion therefore, give covalent compounds.
