The correct Answer is:
To solve the question step by step, we need to determine the values of \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \) based on the boron family (B, Al, Ga, In, Tl) and then compute \( x + 2y + 3z \). ### Step 1: Determine \( x \) **Definition**: \( x \) is the number of elements in the boron family that are solid at \( 40^\circ C \). - **Boron (B)**: Solid at \( 40^\circ C \). - **Aluminum (Al)**: Solid at \( 40^\circ C \). - **Gallium (Ga)**: Melts at \( 29.76^\circ C \), so it is not solid at \( 40^\circ C \). - **Indium (In)**: Solid at \( 40^\circ C \). - **Thallium (Tl)**: Solid at \( 40^\circ C \). **Count**: The solid elements are B, Al, In, and Tl. Therefore, \( x = 4 \). ### Step 2: Determine \( y \) **Definition**: \( y \) is the period number of the element that has a greater ionization energy than the elements just above and below it in the periodic table. - **Ionization Energies**: - Boron (B) > Aluminum (Al) - Aluminum (Al) < Gallium (Ga) - Gallium (Ga) < Indium (In) - Indium (In) < Thallium (Tl) From the above, we see that Boron (B) has a greater ionization energy than Aluminum (Al) and Gallium (Ga). **Period Number**: Boron is in period 2, so \( y = 2 \). ### Step 3: Determine \( z \) **Definition**: \( z \) is the period number of the most abundant element of group 13. - The most abundant element in group 13 is Aluminum (Al). **Period Number**: Aluminum is in period 3, so \( z = 3 \). ### Step 4: Calculate \( x + 2y + 3z \) Now we can substitute the values we found into the expression: \[ x + 2y + 3z = 4 + 2(2) + 3(3) \] Calculating this step by step: 1. \( 2y = 2 \times 2 = 4 \) 2. \( 3z = 3 \times 3 = 9 \) 3. Now add them together: \( 4 + 4 + 9 = 17 \) Thus, the final answer is: \[ \boxed{17} \]

To solve the question step by step, we need to determine the values of \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \) based on the boron family (B, Al, Ga, In, Tl) and then compute \( x + 2y + 3z \). ### Step 1: Determine \( x \) **Definition**: \( x \) is the number of elements in the boron family that are solid at \( 40^\circ C \). - **Boron (B)**: Solid at \( 40^\circ C \). - **Aluminum (Al)**: Solid at \( 40^\circ C \). - **Gallium (Ga)**: Melts at \( 29.76^\circ C \), so it is not solid at \( 40^\circ C \). ...
