Understand that the energy of an electron in an atom is given by the formula: , where RH is the Rydberg constant (2.18 x 10^-18 J), z is the atomic number, and n is the principal quantum number or energy level.
Identify the atomic number of boron, which is .
Rearrange the formula to solve for : .
Substitute the given energy value J, the Rydberg constant, and the atomic number of boron into the rearranged formula.
Calculate the value of to determine the energy level at which the electron resides.
