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.

Why is boron nitride a conductor?
No, boron nitride is often used as an insulator in the semi-conductor industry.
Is boron a good conductor of heat?
Yes it is but it is not good for electricity!!
Is boron conductive?
It is a poor conductor at room temperature, but becomes more conductive at higher temperatures.
What are three properties of boron?
Boron is a metaloid which means its pretty much in between of a metal and a non metal. Boron is one of the hardest elements on the periodic table being a horrible conductor for electricity being able to break through infrared light
What is boron and its uses?
Boron is a Group 13 element that has properties which are borderline between metals and non-metals (semimetallic). It is a semiconductor rather than a metallic conductor. Chemically it is closer to silicon than to aluminium, gallium, indium, and thallium. Crystalline boron is inert chemically and is resistant to attack by boiling HF or HCl. When finely divided it is attacked slowly by hot concentrated nitric acid
Is boron a good conductor of electricity?
Boron is not a good conductor of electricity at room temperature, but is a good conductor at a high temperature.
Why is boron nitride a conductor?
No, boron nitride is often used as an insulator in the semi-conductor industry.
Is boron a conductor or a insulator?
yes
What is boron's state of matter at room temperature?
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.
Is boron a good conductor of heat?
Yes it is but it is not good for electricity!!
Is boron a good heat conductor?
Yes it is but it is not good for electricity!!
Is boron carbide a conductor of heat and electricity?
Alright, since boron carbide is also known as black diamonds, I believe its a poor conductor of heat and electricity, not only due to the fact that its diamond but along with its specific properties.
Can arc pass through Boron?
Your question is not coherent. If you have an arc, the current has already passed through. Boron is a poor conductor, but it does conduct. More discussion of its properties are here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boron
Is boron conductive?

Is Boron a semi conductor?
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 is a metaloid which means its pretty much in between of a metal and a non metal. Boron is one of the hardest elements on the periodic table being a horrible conductor for electricity being able to break through infrared light
Is boron a common element on earth?
Several allotropes of boron exist: amorphous boron is a brown powder; whereas crystalline boron is black, extremely hard (about 9.5 on Mohs' scale), and a poor conductor at room temperature. Elemental boron is used as a dopant in the semiconductor industry, while boron compounds play important roles as light structural materials, insecticides and preservatives, and reagents for chemical synthesis.basically...yes.
