It can only make three bonds. Boron has three valence electrons and therefore cannot form more than three bonds with no lone pairs.

What does boron bond with?
boron bonds with fluorine, chlorine, hydrogen, bromine, and oxygen.
What does boron make?
What dose the Boron do
Is boron oxide a ionic bond or covalent bond?
Quite covalent, hardly ionic (very weak monoprotic acid HBO3H2 )
What is the use of boron?
Boron is used to make control rods.
What elements make up boron?
Boron is an element in itself.
How many covalent bonds are formed with boron?
Boron will form the covalent bonds based on the octet rule.
How many covalent bonds does boron?
Boron is in group 3 and forms generally 3 covalent bonds. Because forming 3 bonds only gives boron a share of 6 electrons boron compounds are Lewis acids.
Why boron makes covalent bonds but not ionic bonds?
A covalent bond does not have oxygen in it but ionic bonds do and because Boron cannot join with oxygen it can only make covalent bonds hope that helps =)
How many bonds and lone pairs are observed with Boron?
Three bonds and no lone pairs.
What bonds with boron?
boron bonds with fluorine, chlorine, hydrogen, bromine, and oxygen.
What does boron bond with?
boron bonds with fluorine, chlorine, hydrogen, bromine, and oxygen.
How covalent bonds will boron form?
maximum of three
What does boron make?
What dose the Boron do
What is the molecular geometry of bhf2?
It's trigonal planar, with Boron in the middle and sigle bonds to Hydrogen and both Fluorines. Note that Boron is an electron-deficient atom (it DOES NOT follow octet) and this is why it only makes three bonds
What chemical family do atoms tend to share electrons in chemical bonds?
boron
Is boron oxide a ionic bond or covalent bond?
Quite covalent, hardly ionic (very weak monoprotic acid HBO3H2 )
What kind of solid crystalline boron?
It is a network solid, a lattice of many covalent bonds (like diamond, except that it is black rather than transparent).
