There are no radioactive isotopes of boron that are ordinarily found in nature. All elements have synthetic radioactive isotopes, however.

Is boron explosive or radioactive?
Boron is not explosive and I'm not sure if it is radioactive!
Does boron occur in nature?
Yes, all elements that are not radioactive occur in nature. In fact, boron is present in small amounts in every rock. It is also quite abundant in the ocean (5 parts per million).
Write a balanced nuclear equation for the radioactive decay of a boron-10 plus a neutron results in the formation of another element and the release of an alpha particle?
lithium
What is the allotropes for boron?
two allotropes of boron ; crystalline boron and brown amorphous boron
How is it that naturally occurring boron is 10.8 and normal boron is different?
The naturally occuring boron is the normal boron there is no synthetic or abnormal boron.
Is boron explosive or radioactive?
Boron is not explosive and I'm not sure if it is radioactive!
Does boron have any health effects?
I could be wrong but I think boron is radioactive.
Can boron be mixed with charcoal to filter radioactive particles from air and water?
I'm wondering this too, for 55 gal drum air filtration canisters. Boron is not radioactive, it is stable. The outer shell of the boron atom has only one electron so the boron atom will grab free electrons until the outer shell is completely full. Then it is saturated and needs to be replaced with new boron. To remove radioactive particles from air I'm looking at boron silicate microfiber, which is used in Nuclear Grade HEPA Type B filters
What element protects people from radioactive substences?
This depends upon the radioactive challenge. Boron has a high neutron capture cross-section, hence the huge quantities of boron used to help sanitize the Chernobyl and Fukishima reactors. But ordinarily, simple massive materials such as massive concrete or lead are materials of choice.

What element is used as a shield to protect people from radioactive sudstances?
Usually lead is used for shielding, however I believe Boron is used to in a sense "neutralize" radioactive material. I believe this was discussed in possible solutions for Fukashima
Write a balanced nuclear equation for the radioactive decay of a boron-10 plus a neutron results in the formation of another element and the release of an alpha particle?
lithium
What type is radioactive?
Positron Decay of Carbon-11 to Boron-11. Adapted from Types of Radioactivity. The finaltype of beta decay is known as electron capture and also occurs when ...
When was the element boron named boron?
boron was named boron because of the properties it has
Which element has atoms which contain 5 protons?
The answer is Boron :)
What is the allotropes for boron?
two allotropes of boron ; crystalline boron and brown amorphous boron
What is boron discovery?
Boron discovery is the discovery of Boron.
