Boron and Its Properties

This video tutorial explains how to determine the number of valence electrons for boron. It covers two methods: using the periodic table and examining the electron configuration. Boron, found in group 13 of the periodic table, has three valence electrons. The electron configuration method confirms this by showing that boron has five electrons in total, with three in the highest energy level. The video concludes by reiterating that boron has three valence electrons.
