<span>The outer electrons are not as tightly bound as ones closer to the nucleus</span>

Explanation:

It is known that nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge whereas neutrons have no charge.

Therefore, electrons closer to the nucleus are strongly held due to the force of attraction between opposite charges of protons and electrons.

So, as the electrons go far away from the nucleus then force of attraction between the nucleus and electrons decreases.

As a result, it becomes easier to remove valence electrons of an atom. Thus, they can be removed by friction.

Nuetrik [128]
In general, The more valence electrons a metal has, the stronger its metallic bonds will be because Boron is a metalloid and is ionically bonded.it is too electronegative to release its valence electrons for metallic bonding.As a result, their valence electrons feel a stronger pull from the nucleus (a greater effective nuclear charge) and are less easily released for metallic bonding.
