00:02 Hi there, in this question we have boron with a 3 plus charge.
00:06 So that would be a cation since it is positive and cations are formed by a loss of one or more electrons.
00:16 In this case it's going to be three electrons that were lost.
00:23 Okay so i want to start off by writing the electron configuration for boron and then removing the three highest energy electrons.
00:32 So just like any electron configuration it follows the aufbau principle so we start with 1s2.
00:39 Actually i'm going to back up a second.
00:41 Boron as we look at the periodic table is atomic number five so it has five protons and since it's a neutral atom where i'm starting here it has five electrons...
