Number of electrons lost by atoms of group IIIA equals ______?
Number of electrons lost by atoms of group IIIA equals ______?
Explanation
- Group IIIA (or group 13) elements, such as boron (B), aluminum (Al), and gallium (Ga), lose three electrons to form ions with a charge of +3.
- This means that they typically form compounds by losing three electrons, resulting in a valency of +3.
