Problem 15SEQ

Explain answer clearly, with complete sentences and proper essay structure if needed.

Rare Elements. Lithium, beryllium, and boron are elements with atomic numbers 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Despite their being three of the five simplest elements, Figure 9.18 shows that they arc rare compared to many heavier elements. Suggest a reason for their rarity. (Hint: Consider the process by which helium fuses into carbon.)
