How many electrons does boron have to give up to achieve a stable electron?

Boron has 5 electrons in its outer shell, and it needs to give up 3 electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, which is the same as the nearest noble gas, helium.


Why does valence electron give up outermost energy easily?

The force of attraction between the atom's nucleus and its valence electrons are the least. Hence valence electrons are lost easily.
