Write the element symbol for an element that has this electron-dot formula. How many electrons would be gained or lost to achieve a noble gas configuration? from the group 13 elementWhat is the charge on the resulting ion?
The electron-dot formula for group 13 elements (also known as group IIIA) typically involves three valence electrons. These elements include boron (B), aluminum (Al), gallium (Ga), indium (In), and thallium (Tl).
To achieve a noble gas configuration, which is a full outer shell of 8 electrons, the group 13 elements typically lose three electrons, gaining a +3 charge.
