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.
