Aluminum.
Carbon.
Nitrogen.

Answer 1

B on edg

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Aluminium has the fewest valence electrons available for bonding.

As we go across the groups from left to right, we have the following numbers of valence electron.

• Group 13: Al = 3

• Group 14: C = 4

• Group 15: N = 5

• Group 17: Cl = 7

Thus, Al has the fewest valence electrons available for bonding.
