The atomic number of boron is 5. what does this tell you about an atom of boron?

Boron is 5 in the periodic table of elements and the mass is rounded up 10 11. If the atomic number of boron is 5, that means that there would be 5 protons and 5 electrons.

oh it is true if thats what you are asking

since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.
