The boron group comprises boron, aluminium, gallium, indium and thallium. Read about boron here and aluminium here. Gallium Gallium has a low melting point (29.7 C) but a very high boiling point (2,204 C), one of the greatest ranges of any element. The low melting point causes gallium to melt…
Aluminium is part of the boron group (group 13 of the periodic table). It is the second most abundant metallic element behind silicon. It is very light, about a third the weight of steel. It is easily machined and cast, and alloys well. It is a good conductor of heat…
Boron is one of seven metalloids, the others are silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium and polonium. Metalloids have both metallic and non-metallic properties and can form alloys with metals. They are typically brittle, semi conductive, have a metallic lustre and some contract on melting.
