5 electrons
Boron atomic number 5 has five electrons in its ground state.
Commonly Boron will lose 3 electrons leaving 2 electrons in its most common ionic form.
Explanation:
The atomic number gives the number of protons. Protons which have a positive charge are balanced by an equal number of electrons in a neutral atom.
Boron number 5 has five protons and therefore as a neutral atom also has five electrons.
Boron has an electron configuration of
1s22s22p1
The most stable electron configuration for Boron is
1s2
+ 3 charges. By losing three electrons Boron can achieve the stable electron structure of Helium

Answer:
a)there would be no reaction
Explanation:
The activity series of metals has many functions. The one applicable to this problem is that it can be used to determine whether a reaction will occur or not. Also, based on the positions of metals in the series, we can know how reactive a metal is compared to another.
In a single displacement reaction, a metal replaces another metal based on their position on the activity series. Metals that are higher in the series are generally more reactive than others below them and so will displace them.
Would aluminum replace magnesium to form a new compound or would there be no reaction?
Magnesium is higher than aluminum in the activity series. Therefore it is more reactive than aluminum. No reaction will occur.
The reaction equation is:
Li + Br → LiBr
39 grams of Li = 39 / 7 = 5.57 moles of lithium
41.5 grams of Br = 41.5 / 80 = 0.52 mole of bromine
The letter in parentheses after a chemical formula indicates c) the physical state of the substance.
The letters can be:
→ (s) for solid.
→ (l) for liquid.
→ (g) for gazeous.
→ (aq) for an aqueous solution (like NaCl (aq) - NaCl is dissolved in water)
