What did you include in your response? Check all that apply.

A
All elements in group 13 have 3 valence electrons.
B
Losing electrons during chemical reactions causes metallic behavior in elements.
C
It is easier to lose 3 electrons than it is to gain 5, so most group 13 elements behave as metals.
D
Having fewer electron shells makes it easier to gain electrons.
E
Boron has so few electron shells that it is just as easy for it to lose electrons as it is to gain electrons, so it behaves like a metalloid.
