Question:

What property do all elements in the same column of the Periodic Table as boron have in common?

Solution:

All elements in the same column of the periodic table as boron (Group 13) have the same number of valence electrons. Boron is in Group 13, meaning it has 3 valence electrons. All elements in Group 13 have 3 valence electrons. This similar valence electron configuration leads to similar chemical properties. For example, they often form compounds with a +3 oxidation state.
