What materialis similar to aluminium?
Boron, Aluminum, Gallium, Indium, Thallium and Ununtrium all inhabit Group 13 on the chart, so they are quite similar to each other chemically.
How many electrons does Boron have in a electron cloud?
6
What family on the periodic table does aluminum belong in?
Boron Family
Does Al have a larger atomic radius than B?
Aluminum has a larger radius than Boron because there are more electron filled 'orbitals' around its nucleus. Atomic radius increases down a group for that reason.
What element has the electron configuration 1s2 2s2 sp6 3s2 3p2?
well, it depends on how many electrons are there in the last orbital P....it can be any element from Aluminum to Argon (look at the periodic table)
Why is aluminium not with the other metals on the periodic table?
The periodic table is organized not only by atomic number, but also electron configuration. The electrons in aluminum are most similar to gallium and boron, which is why aluminum is put where it is. Also, zinc, gallium and indium are metals, so aluminum is with a couple of the other metals.
Which element has a single electron in the 2p sublevel?
The element that has a single electron in the 2p sublevel is boron. The electron configuration of Boron is 1s22s22p1.
What elements would you expect exhibit properties most similar to those of aluminum?
The elements immediately above and below aluminum in the same column of a wide form periodic table: boron and gallium. As is usual for relatively light elements, aluminum is more like the element below it, gallium, than the one above it: Aluminum and gallium are both metals, while boron is a nonmetal. In compounds with oxyanions, however, boron is similar to aluminum compounds with oxyanions.
What are some characteristics of the boron group?
The boron family, Group 13 on the periodic table, is sort of a collection of "odd ducks" in that boron is a metaloid and aluminum, gallium, indium and thallium are poor metals. All of these elements have 3 electrons in their outer electron or valence shell. The (poor) metals find a lot of use, particularly aluminum. Boron is useful in the chemical industry for inclusion in various materials.
What is the oxidation state of boron?
The oxidation state of boron is either three electrons or one electron. Boron has an valence electron configuration of ns2np1.
Is boron a part of the aluminum family?
No, but Al is part of the Boron family.

What is the noble gas configuration of boron?
The electron configuration of boron is: [He]2s2.2p1.
What is eka boron eka aluminum eka silicon?
eka aluminum is gallium eka boron is scandium eka silicon is germanium
Are boron and carbon similar?
Boron and carbon are not similar but both are nonmetals.
What is the electron arrangement of boron?
2,3
