How many valence electrons are in the boron group?

Answer #1

Boron has three valence electrons. It has room for five electrons (according to the octet rule) but but since Boron is so small, five will not fit.

Answer #2

Boron has 3 valence electrons as it is under Group III, thus it has a positive charge of +3.
