What makes boron unique?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Boron is unique because it is the only nonmetallic element found in Group 13 of the periodic table. It has a small atomic size and a high ionization energy, making it ideal for use in various applications such as energy-efficient materials, high-strength alloys, and neutron radiation shielding. Boron also exhibits interesting properties like its ability to form stable compounds with carbon (boron carbide) and its role in plant growth as an essential micronutrient.

How the electron population of aluminium is less than boron?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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..
