Answer:
[He]2[tex]s^{2}[/tex]3[tex]p^{1}[/tex]
Explanation:
The electron configuration for Boron is 1[tex]s^{2}[/tex]2[tex]s^{2}[/tex]3[tex]p^{1}[/tex], but you can also write it as the noble gas configuration, which is [He]2[tex]s^{2}[/tex]3[tex]p^{1}[/tex]
Note that helium has the configuration of 1[tex]s^{2}[/tex], so we instead of writing it, we write [He]. This can be useful when writing the configurations of elements from the later periods as it saves space.
