my brain isn't functioning correctly. 2 days up working on homework lol

Respuesta :

Answer:

C: They both have 1 electron in a p orbital.

Explanation:

Find the electron configuration of B

Boron is 1s 2s2 2p1

Find the electron configuration of Al

Aluminum is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 2p1

If you look at the p orbital, they both have 1 electron.

Therefore, the correct answer is C.

Hope it helped!
