Answer (2)

B. Valence electrons in an atom correspond to group number. So, if two elements are in the same group they have the same amount of atoms in the outer shell.

The two elements that contain the same number of valence electrons are Aluminum (Al) and Boron (B), as both belong to Group 13 of the periodic table with 3 valence electrons. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Al & B.
