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.
The increase in electropositivity from boron to aluminum is due to the decrease in ionization energy, making it easier for aluminum to lose electrons. However, from aluminum to thallium, the increase in effective nuclear charge outweighs the increase in atomic size, making it harder for thallium to lose electrons, thus decreasing electropositivity.
Aluminium.
Group 13 contain aluminium, gallium, indium, thallium, ununtrium (metals) and boron (nonmetal).
There are no parts of the periodic table which are called regions. Aluminium is in group 13, period 3 and block p and its IUPAC name is Boron.
None of those elements are nonmetals.The outlier of the group is aluminium, which is usually considered a metal. The other three are all normally though of as being "metalloids".
The increase in electropositivity from boron to aluminum is due to the decrease in ionization energy, making it easier for aluminum to lose electrons. However, from aluminum to thallium, the increase in effective nuclear charge outweighs the increase in atomic size, making it harder for thallium to lose electrons, thus decreasing electropositivity.
Electropositivity increases from boron to aluminum because as you move from boron to aluminum in the periodic table, the number of electron shells increases. This leads to a greater distance between the nucleus and the outer electrons in aluminum, reducing the effective nuclear charge on the outer electrons. As a result, the electrons are more easily lost, making aluminum more electropositive than boron.
Boron is from the 3A family, the same as Aluminium.
boron
Elements : Boron, Aluminium, Gallium, Indium, Thallium They are of Group 13.
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)
Aluminium is located in the Group IIIA - the Boron family on the periodic table.

Aluminium.
Boron, aluminium, gallium ,indium ,thallium
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.
Aluminum is less abundant than boron because boron has a higher atomic number and thus is more stable. Aluminium is more reactive and tends to form compounds with other elements rather than existing in its pure form. Boron also has more natural sources and is used in a variety of applications, contributing to its higher population.
