Final answer:
The provided elements do not belong to the same group as Boron. Lithium and sodium are alkali metals from Group 1, neon is a noble gas from Group 18, and fluorine is a halogen from Group 17.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking which element is in the same group as boron (B). The provided choices are Li (lithium), Ne (neon), F (fluorine), and Na (sodium). Boron is in Group 13 of the periodic table, which is characteristic of metalloids and post-transition metals. Among the given options, none are in Group 13.
However, to address the information provided:
- Lithium (Li) belongs to Group 1, which is the group of alkali metals.
- Neon (Ne) is a noble gas from Group 18.
- Fluorine (F) is a halogen from Group 17.
- Sodium (Na) is also an alkali metal, like lithium, and is in Group 1.
Therefore, given that none of the options are in the same group as Boron, the most appropriate way to answer the student's question would be to clarify the mistake and provide the correct group information for each element given as an option.
