What does the element aluminums family have in common on the periodic table?
Aluminum’s family is called the Boron family because it is the first element in the column. They all have three electrons in the outer valance shell and all but Uut (recently discovered) were discovered in the 1800’s. Most of the elements also go through Beta decay, but not all. The group consits of poor metals with the exeption of Born, which is a metalloid.
