As we know that the number of p orbitals is threeand, therefore, the maximum number of electrons that canbe accommodated in a set of p orbitals is six.
melting point and high electrical conductivity. It is worthwhile to note that gallium with unusually low melting point (303K), could exist in liquid state during summer. Its high boiling point (2676K) makes it a useful material for measuring high temperatures. Density of the elements increases down the group from boron to thallium.
