Group 14 elements such as silicon or germanium generally act as semi-conductors. Boron, a group 13 element, normally acts as a dopant in semiconductors.
Boron nitride can be a conductor under certain conditions due to the presence of free electrons that can move to conduct electricity. This typically occurs in hexagonal boron nitride, which has a similar structure to graphene, allowing for electron mobility. However, boron nitride is more commonly known for its insulating properties.
Impure semi conductor material are called extrinsic semi conductor as there a small quantity of foreign particle is present. Two types of impurities are added to an extrinsic semi conductor. When impurities belonging to third group are called as trivalent or acceptor impurities such as boron, aluminum, indium or gallium when these impurities are added in pure semi conductors they form p-type semi conductor. And similarly when impurities belonging to group fifth called as penta valent or donor impurities such as arsenic, antimony, bismuth or phosphorus are added to a semi conductor they form N-type semi conductor .
Boron is not a good conductor of electricity at room temperature, but is a good conductor at a high temperature.
Boron is classified as a metalloid or semi-metal. It has properties that are between those of metals and nonmetals.

Yes, boron is considered brittle due to its atomic structure that makes it prone to cleavage. It is a hard and brittle semi-conductor with high melting and boiling points, making it useful in certain industrial applications.
The conductivity of a semi-conductor can be increased by raising the temperature of the semi-conductor .
Yes it is but it is not good for electricity!!
yes
Boron is a semiconductor, meaning it does not fit cleanly into the categories of insulator or conductor. It can conduct electricity under certain conditions but is not as efficient as metals.
Copper is a conductor.
Boron is a chemical element with the symbol B and an atomic number of 5. Boron's state of matter at room temperature is a solid non-metal.
