What does the boron family react to?

The boron family does not react to many items. However, the one group that it does react violently with is the halogen group.


The symbol B on the periodic table stands for?

That would be Bromine, the only halogen element that is liquid at SATP. It's number 35 on the Periodic Table of the Elements and is commonly found in ionic compounds with metals from groups I or II.


What are boron halides?

Just what it sounds like. Halide compounds with boron in them.I'll elaborate. A halide is a halogen compound with a negative charge on the halogen. This is usually the case sine halogens are very electronegative and will steal electron density from many things they bond to.Boron isn't a tough one to crack, in the first place. It's quite electropositive, sat there on the third row.Third row. 3 valence electrons. Halides only want one. Getting two or 3 is very unfavourable, they only want to fill their octet. So why not have 3 halogens on the Boron? That works!BCl3 is a prime example of a boron halide. The boron here is very positive, as the chlorines take its electron density. The chlorines are, then, negatively charged and so the compound is a halide compound...with boron in it. Boron halide.BF3 is another one, and possibly the one you will come across most often. Same principles.


What is the allotropes for boron?

two allotropes of boron ; crystalline boron and brown amorphous boron


Is K a halogen?

Potassium is a metal element. It is not a halogen. Example for halogen is Chlorine.

How many metaloids are in the periodic table?

Metalloids are: arsenic, germanium, silicon, boron, tellurium, antimony; selenium is als probable a metalloid but the question is disputed. I think that polonium is a metal and astatine a halogen.

What element has less than one halogen existing on the earth?

Any element, other than a halogen is - by definition - not a halogen and so it does not have a halogen and that is less than one halogen.
