+3 is Boron's overall charge. Boron's ionic charge is +5.
When bonding, the boron family (group 3) has a +3 charge.
The formula for sulfate is SO4, and has a net charge of -2. Boron has a charge of +3, so the formula for boron sulfate is B2(SO4)3.

Na(BF4) forms so Na+ and (BF4)- are the ions produced
+3 is Boron's overall charge. Boron's ionic charge is +5.
This just means it has a charge of 1+. The Boron ion can only have a charge of 1+.
When bonding, the boron family (group 3) has a +3 charge.
The formula for sulfate is SO4, and has a net charge of -2. Boron has a charge of +3, so the formula for boron sulfate is B2(SO4)3.

On their own metals have no charge. Metal ions have a positive charge.
Boron gains noble gas configuration by losing 3 electrons. So it forms positive ions.
This compound is of course neutral.
A crystal of salt consists of electrons and positive ions. How does the net charge of the electrons compare with the net charge of the ions
-1
Na(BF4) forms so Na+ and (BF4)- are the ions produced
boron ion is represented as B+, singly charged, positive.
