All of the elements in the Boron group are metals ececept Boron. Boron is a metaloid. They are all chemicaly reactive at moderate temperatures except Boron. They don't occure by themselves in nature. The members of the Boron family is mainly found in borax and boric. Each element in the Boron Group has three valence electrons. They don't react with water.

(Jennifer Cook-Howard) Aluminum is a silvery-white, ductile metallic element. Aluminum is the third most abundant element in the earth's crust and the most abundant metal but it is too chemically reactive to occur in nature as a by itself. It is found combined in to over 270 different minerals. Aluminum was named from the Latin word Alumen. It was discovered by Hans Christian Oervsted in 1825. It has a meling point of 660 degrees celsius and a boiling point of 2467 degrees celsius. It has three Valence Electrons. Aluminum is a good conductor and is used in Pop cans and Plans. Gallium By: Danielle Hystad Gallium was discovered by Paul-Emile Lecoq de Boisbaudran at 1875. The atomic number and mass/weight is 31 and 69.723. The melting point for Gallium is 302.93 Celsius. The boiling point for Gallium is 2676. Gallium's valence number is three. Location on Earth is safety Data building. Gallium is not reactive with other elements. Gallium is use for the data that is used for safety data building.

 * Boron**

 Boron was discovered in 1808 by Sir Humphry Davy, Gay-Lussac, and Thenard. The Atomic Number is 5 and the Atomick mass is10.81 tha simbls is B. The melting pont is 2075 Celsius. The boiling point is 4000 Celsius. Some uses for Boron are... it is used in flares for the color, in rockets as the igniter. Boron has 3 valence electrons.
