Respuesta :
The electron structures of boron and aluminum are similar because they share the same group, therefore they have the same amount of valence electron.
Answer:
- Both of their valence electrons are at p subshell.
- They have the first subshell full of electrons.
- Both of them have just 1 electron at the last p subshell.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, we could understand their electron structures by identifying their electron configurations as shown below:
[tex]B^5\rightarrow 1s^2,2s^2,2p^1\\Al^{13}\rightarrow 1s^2,2s^2,2p^6,3s^2,3p^1[/tex]
In such a way, we could notice the following similarities:
- Both of their valence electrons are at p subshell.
- They have the first subshell full of electrons.
- Both of them have just 1 electron at the last p subshell.
Best regards.
