There are many factors when it comes to Boron. If it were to form an Ion, then it would drop a total of three electrons.
it has gain 4 electrons
boron has 2 pairs
Boron has 5 electrons per atom. Boron's electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p1. Thus, it has 3 electrons in its outer shell.
Boron has 2 orbitals
lose three electrons
it has gain 4 electrons
Usually three will be lost.
-3 electrons are gained,i.e,3 electrons are lost by Al and 3 electrons are gained by the other atom nearby.
there are 5 electrons in boron atoms.
two electrons lost
There is zero NET loss or gain of electrons
Xe neither gain or lose electrons= 0
Only one electron lost.
Boron has three valence electrons.
Boron has 3 valence electrons.
Boron has 3 valence electrons.
No atom has its electrons in its nucleus, and boron has five electrons around its nucleus.
