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 are the properties of the boron family
Acidic properties
There are a few chemical properties of boron. The most important properties are atomic mass, density and iconic radius.
Boron was named Boron because of the properties it has. It comes from the Arabic word Buraq and the Persian word Burah, which are both words for the material "borax."
Boron Family (13) - do not occur elementally in nature - are scarce in nature (except aluminum, which is the most abundant metallic element) - have three valence electrons - are metallic (except boron, which is a solid metalloid) - are soft and have low melting points (except boron, which is hard and has a high melting point) - are chemically reactive at moderate temperatures (except boron)

some physical properties of Boron are: its color is black, it is a solid and it is rough shape

== == Some physical properties of boron are as follows: - rough in texture - black, white, or gray for the color - has a small shine or luster
According to Wikipedia, Boron is NONmagnetic. Therefore it doesn't have magnetic properties.

Boron is a metalloid. Because it has properties of both metals and non-metals.
With a electronegativity of 2,04 on the Pauli scale boron is a reactive chemical element.
