How the electron population of aluminium is less than boron?
The maximum capacity of electron accommodation of Boron in its outer most shell is eight electrons and that of aluminium is eighteen electrons. It means that the electron population of aluminium is less than Boron.Due to less electron population the no. Of neighboring atoms in the lattice increase, that's why metallic character of aluminium is less than Boron.. (Correct me if I am Wrong)
Which atom has a lower ionization energy aluminium or boron?
The maximum capacity of electron accommodation in aluminium is 18 electrons( M shell) on contraty it has only 3 valence electrons whereas boron has maximum capacity of 8 electrons(L shell) and it has 3 valence electrons so electron population of Aluminium is less than that of boron.
Which is the less reactive - aluminum or lithium?
Aluminium is much less reactive than Lithium.
How many protons does the second type of boron atom contain?
5. If it is more or less than 5 protons then it is not boron.
Is boron in the human body?
No, or almost No: boron in human body is even less than 0.0001% (100 Kg human body contains less than 0.08 grams of boron). The simple substance of Boron is hazardous and poisonous to human body. Boron is an essential plant nutrient, although higher soil concentrations of boron may also be toxic to plants. As an ultra-trace element, boron is necessary for the optimal health of rats and presumably other mammals, though its physiological role in animals is poorly understood. In conclusion, boron is basically a plant micro-nutrient, as far as we know boron is damaging to humans.

Why does electropositivity first increase from boron to aluminium and then decrease down the group?
Boron is a metalloid, while aluminium is a metal. The size of the aluminium atom is much greater than boron, so electropositivity increases from boron to aluminium. But then electropositivity decreases from aluminium to thallium due to the poor shielding effect of the d10 orbital.

Which is the less reactive - aluminum or lithium?
Aluminium is much less reactive than Lithium.
Is Lahore more populated than other cities of Pakistan or less populated than other cities?
yes lahore is most populated
Aluminium oxide not react with hot carbon?
This is because carbon is less reactive than aluminium.
How many protons does the second type of boron atom contain?
5. If it is more or less than 5 protons then it is not boron.
Does a boron atom have less protons than a lithium atom?
Boron has more protons. It has 5, lithium has 3.
Why aluminium is not extracted from alumina by pyrometallurgical operations?
aluminium has greater tendancy to bind to oxygen than carbon,so it cannot be extracted
Which element will most likely react in a similar way as a boron?
Its most likely that Boron would react in a similar way as Aluminium because both of them are in the same group (IIIA) - one above the other.But actually, Boron behaves more like Silicon.Because: Boron is in very specific place in its period.This place is on the boundary between the metals (Li - Be) and nonmetals (C - Ne) which makes Boron a metalloid. Aluminium is in the next period, right under Boron (Their both are present in a common group).This place would give him more metal properties than Boron, so Aluminium turns out as one of the most common and widespread metals.Right next to Boron, Carbon is present.Carbon is in the nonmetal section of 2nd period, so its properties also would be different in contrast to these of Boron.But right under Carbon and right next to Aluminium, Silicon is present.Its nearer to the right side of the periodic table than Aluminium is, so its properties won't be namely metallic.But its also right under the typical nonmetal Carbon which would mean that its properties can't also be absolutely nonmetallic.This gives mixed properties to Silicon, making it a metalloid.Exactly like Boron. That's why Boron reacts more like Silicon.
Is aluminium less malleable than gold?
Yes, by quite a bit.
Is aluminum more or less dense than PET and why?
Aluminium is more dense than PET.
