Kinds of group III element :

• aluminium (4 kinds, 127 facts) (Al, ²P_1/2 in ground state) - soft and malleable metal
• boron (6 kinds, 146 facts) (B, ²P_1/2 in ground state) - Non-metal with several forms - the most common form is a dark amorphous powder, unreactive to water, acids and alkalis. Rare and fragile element. Nuclear reactions in stars destroy it. Most boron is created in space, by cosmic rays that smash into heavier atoms and split them.
