Q: Group 13 of the periodic table is also called what?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Group 13 of the periodic table is also called the boron group because boron (B) is the first element at the top of the group (see Figure below ). Boron is also the only metalloid in this group. The other four elements in the group—aluminum (Al), gallium (Ga), indium (In), and thallium (Tl)—are all metals. Group 13 elements have three valence electrons and are fairly reactive. All of them are solids at room temperature.

 Choices:

- nitrogen group

- iron group

- manganese group

- the boron group


A:
the boron group
