Question

Boron does not from B3+ ions whereas Al forms Al3+ions. This because :

A
The size of B atom is smaller than that of Al

Solution

The correct option is A The size of B atom is smaller than that of Al
B has eletronic configuration 1s22s22p1
After removal of one electron electronic configuration becomes stable i.e full filled s - orbital.

So second IE becomes very high so, total IE1+IE2+IE3 is very high and hence formation of B3+ is impossible

And due to small size of B, it becomes very difficult to withdraw electrons
