Group 13 elements form hydrides such as BH3, AlH3, etc., which are strong reducing agents. These hydrides readily react with acids to release hydrogen gas and form salts. Group 13 elements exhibit non-metallic character rather than metallic character, and they have a strong tendency to form compounds in the +3 oxidation state rather than the +1 oxidation state.
