Electronegativity of boron is the highest in the group and it will form covalent bonds in all his combinations.

The rest of the group will form bonds with intermediate nature between covalent and ions bods in their respective compounds, with thallium (Tl) behaving most close to a metal.

Moreover boron have a very high melting points (around 2200 °C) while in the boron cristal the chemical bonds are directed in space, similar with carbon suggesting his nature as a non-metal.

Other elements form the group Al, Ga, In, Tl have lower melting points 660, 30, 157 and 304  °C, respectively. Also in the elemental state, they have metallic characteristics: metalic luster, ductility, high electrical and thermal conductivity.

The process which has taken place is called CRYSTALLIZATION.
Generally, crystallization is the process by which solid crystals are precipitated from solution. Crystallization can also occur when a crystal melt or when a crystal get deposited directly from a  gas, although these cases are rarer compare to crystals forming from solutions.

How do you figure out how many valence electrons an element has?
Alik [6]
It's how many are in the element's outer layer. The layers go: 2, 8, then 8.

Ex-6 electrons. 1 layer is 2, the next layer has 4 left. If that layer holds 8, you can do 8-4 and it has 4 valence electrons.

Ex-10 electrons. 1 layer is 2, the next layer has 0 left. It has 8 valence electrons because the outermost layer is full with 8.

ex-11 electrons. 1 layer is 2, the next layer is full as well. 2+8=10; it has 1 left. So that element has only one valence electron.
