B3+ is isoelectronic with helium.
Isoelectronicity is the phenomenon whereby two or more molecular entities have the same number of electrons or similar electronic configuration regardless of the nature of the elements that are involved.
In the question given above, helium and B3+ have the same number of electrons. Helium has two electrons. Boron has five electrons but it has given away three of the electrons [that is why it has a charge of +3] and it now has only two left.
Answer:
Negligible
Explanation:
According to the kinetic theory of gases, the degree of intermolecular interaction between gases is minimal and gas molecules tend to spread out and fill up the volume of the container.
If the attraction between gas molecules increases, then the volume of the gas decreases accordingly. This is because, gas molecules become highly attracted to each other.
This intermolecular attractive force may be so strong, such that the actual volume of the gas become negligible compared to the volume of the container.
