  • Much boron is made into sodium tetraborate which is used to insulate fiberglass. It is also used in many cleaning products- detergents and bleaches.
  • Most boron is used to produce glass and ceramics. Borosilicate glass has a fantastic resistance to thermal shock (sudden changes in temperature which causes glass to break).
  • Boron filaments are used as light but high-strength materials for aerospace structures. They are also used to produce some Golf clubs and fishing rods.

This question makes absolutely no sense, one cannot have "a boron". Boron is the fifth element, a transition metal, and is found in solid for at STP. As to its uses l am not entirely sure, but no specific people uses "a boron".


What is boron formula of a compound?

The boron formula of a compound depends on the other elements it is bonded to. For example, in boron trifluoride (BF3), the formula is BF3 where boron is bonded to three fluorine atoms. Another example is boric acid (H3BO3), where boron is bonded to three hydroxide groups.

What is the Lewis sturcture for boron?

The Lewis structure for boron typically has three valence electrons around the boron atom, which means it forms three single bonds. This results in a trigonal planar geometry with no lone pairs on the boron atom.


Hybridization state of Boron atom in Borane molecule (BH3)?

The boron atom in borane (BH3) is sp2 hybridized. This means that the boron atom uses one 2s and two 2p orbitals to form three sp2 hybrid orbitals, leaving one unhybridized p orbital for the lone pair of electrons.
