By: Prof. Dr. Fazal Rehman | Last updated: February 3, 2024

The electronic configuration of the element boron, with atomic number 5, is 1s² 2s² 2p¹.  

Shell 1:

  Subshell s: The first shell of boron contains two electrons in the 1s orbital, and it has a maximum capacity of two electrons.

Shell 2:

  Subshell s: Boron fills the second shell’s two available electron slots in the 2s orbital with two electrons each. Subshell p: The p subshell is an additional subshell that is part of the second shell. One electron is present in the 2p orbital of boron.
