diagonal relationships are shown by elements in Periodic Table with same charge to radius ratio, i.e. same polarizing power. important examples are beryllium and magnesium, boron and aluminium, carbon and silicon. diagonal relationship leads to "mimicking" of chemical properties, i.e. beryllium will show properties of magnesium anomalous to its group behavior, for instance formation of nitrites. similarly, boron will "mimic" aluminium and show properties like formation of amphoteric oxides. also boric acid is not a protic acid as it gives H+ only in water, just like aluminium.(B(OH)3+ H2O=>B(OH)4-)

What are the similarities between aluminium and boron?
Both are members of the 13th group of the Periodic Table (boron group).
What elements are from the boron family?
The elements from the boron family includes aluminium, gallium, indium and thallium.
How the electron population ig aluminium is lessthan boron?
No idea
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.
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)
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.
What family is boron from?
Boron is from the 3A family, the same as Aluminium.
Which is a non metal gallium indium aluminium boron?
boron
What are the similarities between aluminium and boron?
Both are members of the 13th group of the Periodic Table (boron group).
Does aluminum or boron have a larger atomic radius?
Aluminium and boron are in the same group, with aluminium below boron. Down the group, the energy level (or shell) increases. So aluminium will have larger atomic radius.
What does the boron group contain?
Elements : Boron, Aluminium, Gallium, Indium, Thallium They are of Group 13.
What elements are from the boron family?
The elements from the boron family includes aluminium, gallium, indium and thallium.
How the electron population ig aluminium is lessthan boron?
No idea
What is the difference between sodium and aluminum'?
Sodium is a highly reactive alkali metal whereas aluminium is a less reactive metal in the boron group.
On the periodic table which chemical family is Aluminium located in?
Aluminium is located in the Group IIIA - the Boron family on the periodic table.
