Boron has 5 neutrons in its nucleus.
Boron has 5 protons in its nucleus.
No atom has its electrons in its nucleus, and boron has five electrons around its nucleus.
Boron is an element and therefore contains boron atoms.
this is a chemistry question, not biology. however, the correct answer is 5.
Boron has 2 isotopes and both are stable thus, depending on the isotope, an atom of Boron could have 5 or 6 neutrons in it nucleus. 10B has 5 neutrons (and 5 protons) 11B has 6 neutrons (and 5 protons) As about about 80% of all boron is 11B, most Boron atoms will be found to have 6 neutrons.
Boron, like all other elements, has one nucleus per atom.
The atomic number of boron (5) indicates the number of protons in the nucleus of a boron atom. This means that a boron atom has 5 protons. Since atoms are electrically neutral, it also tells us that a boron atom has 5 electrons to balance the positive charge of the protons.
In a boron model, the neutrons would be located in the nucleus, along with the protons. Boron typically has 5 protons and an average of 6 neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of around 11.
a regular boron atom (5B11 isotope) has six neutrons and five protons
The atomic number of boron is 5, meaning it has 5 protons in its nucleus. It typically has 5 electrons to balance the charge.
The resulting nucleus has 6 protons. Boron-10 has 5 protons, and absorbing a neutron increases the atomic number by 1 to become carbon-11, which has 6 protons. The emission of an alpha particle (helium nucleus with 2 protons) leaves behind a nucleus with 6 protons.
5 protons, 5 electrons and 6 neutrons :)
