Chapter 12: Problem 41
Boron differs from the other clements of its own group in several properties. The anomalous behaviour of boron may be attributed to (1) its small size and high ionization energy. (2) its high electronegativity. (3) the presence of only two electrons in the penultimate shell and the absence of \(d\) orbitals in the valence shell. (4) All of the above.
