Identify the group 3A element that best fits each of the following descriptions.

(a) Is the most abundant element of the group

Video transcript

All right. Hi, everyone. So this question is asking us to identify whether the following statement is true or false. Boron is the most abundant element in the earth's crust among group three A elements. Now, first and foremost, recall that the group three A elements going from top to bottom or boron, aluminum gallium indium and Thalia. So what I also want to point out here is recall that boron is actually relatively rare in general. So from this information alone, we can see that the statement given in the question might not be accurate considering how rare boron already happens to be. And in addition, right, recall that the top three most abundant elements in the earth's crust are oxygen, silicon and aluminum. Now oxygen belongs in group six A whereas silicone belongs in group four A, meaning aluminum is the only element listed here that actually does belong to group three A indicating that boron is not actually the most abundant element among group three A elements because that title should go to aluminum instead. And also, right, in comparison to aluminum, the other elements in group three A are relatively rare as well, right? All of them account for only a fraction of a percentage of the earth's crust overall, right? So aluminum of the group three A elements is actually the most abundant and not Boran, meaning the statement given in the question is actually false and there you have it. So with that being said, thank you so very much for watching and I hope you found this helpful.
