How many hydrogen atoms would a boron atom need to form covalent bond with it so that the boron is stable?

The most common form is diborane - B2H6 which contains two bridging hydrogen atoms and where each boron is sp3 hybridised (tetrahedral)

What type of bond is formed between boron and hydrogen?
covalent bond
How many covalent bonds are formed with boron?
Boron will form the covalent bonds based on the octet rule.
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 =)
What does not belong and why uranium salt boron hydrogen?
Uranium, boron, hydrogen are chemical elements. Salt (NaCl) is a chemical compound.
One boron atom and three fluorine atoms?
BF3 - Boron trifluoride
What is a banana bond?
A banana bond is an extended covalent bond found in boranes in which a hydrogen atom is shared by two boron atoms.
What is the chemical bond for Boron and Hydrogen?

What type of bond is formed between boron and hydrogen?
covalent bond
What is the five lightest atoms?
Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium, Beryllium and Boron.
What is how many atoms in boric acid H3Bo3?
7 atoms. 3 hydrogen, one boron and 3 oxygen.
How does an atom of boron become stable?
In general, boron will form 3 covalent bonds, using each of its 3 valence shell electrons (sharing them). This will of course violate the octet rule, but obeys the sextet rule, and this is what makes boron stable. It (along with aluminum, eg.) do not obey the octet rule.
What atoms are in boron?
Boron is an element and therefore contains boron atoms.
Is boron a stable element?
boron can be stable maybe if it is in the room temperature
Is boron fluoride covalent or ionic?
Covalent
What has a atomic maass of 11?
The only radioactively stable atoms with an atomic mass of 11 are those of boron-11.
What ingredients are in boric acid?
Pure Boric acid is H3BO3. It only has atoms of hydrogen, boron and oxygen.
What is the name of the covalent compound BH?
BH is not stable, there is no compound by that formula. BH3 (boron hydride) generally exists as the dimer, B2H6, diborane.
