It depends on what isotope you are asking for, or if you are asking for an isotope at all.
The number of protons in an element is its atomic number. Boron's atomic number is 5 - ergo, there are 5 protons. The number of neutrons in an element is the difference between the atomic mass and the atomic number of an element. boron's atomic mass is 11. Therefore, 11 - 5 = 6. There are 6 neutrons in boron. In conclusion, there are 6 neutrons and 5 protons in boron.
I think that's B, the symbol for the element boron. Boron has 5 protons and 5 electrons. The most common isotope has 6 neutrons. The other main isotope has only 5 neutrons.
a regular boron atom (5B11 isotope) has six neutrons and five protons
All boron atoms contain 5 electrons and 5 protons. Atoms of the most abundant naturally occurring isotope of boron contain 6 neutrons each, and atoms of the only other naturally occurring isotope of boron contain 5 neutrons each.
Boron has 5 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope. Number of neutrons in a boron isotope = Mass number - 5
Boron has 5 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope. Number of neutrons in a boron isotope = Mass number - 5

Boron-11 is an isotope. The atomic number of Boron is 5 which means it has 5 protons, (if there were more or less protons the element wouldn't be boron). the isotope number (11) is the number of protons plus neutrons. to find out the number of neutrons you would take take the isotope and subtract it by number of protons (11-5) which yields 6. To find the isotope add the number of protons to the number of neutrons.

Boron has 5 neutrons and 5 protons for its most common isotope
a regular boron atom (5B11 isotope) has six neutrons and five protons
5 protons and electrons and the number of neutrons depends on the isotope
Only in exceptional cases: hydrogen, helium, an isotope of lithium which accounts for 8% of lithium on earth, and an isotope of boron (20%).
All boron atoms contain 5 electrons and 5 protons. Atoms of the most abundant naturally occurring isotope of boron contain 6 neutrons each, and atoms of the only other naturally occurring isotope of boron contain 5 neutrons each.
Boron Boron BoronBoron's atomic number is 5, meaning 5 protons and 5 electrons.Boron's Relative Atomic Mass is approximately 10.8To find neutrons, you subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass.10.8 - 5 = 5.8 (or 5)Boron has 5 protons, 5 electrons and 5.8 neutrons
