Boron is supposed to be a metal so I would actually say that no Boron isn't metallic. Hope this helps!
Borax is a mineral that is a compound of the element boron. It is not a metal. Boron is a metalloid, rather than a metal.
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)
K has more metallic character
Boron. That's it. Atomic number: 5. Atomic weight: 10.811. Physical description: Black Semi Metallic.
Carbon, Silicon or Boron

Boron is used in flares, propellant mixtures, nuclear reactor control elements, abrasives, and hard metallic alloys

Holle, I'm Rebeca
no it is because metallic character increases down the group
metallic character increases
The maximum capacity of electron accommodation of Boron in its outer most shell is eight electrons and that of aluminium is eighteen electrons. It means that the electron population of aluminium is less than Boron.Due to less electron population the no. Of neighboring atoms in the lattice increase, that's why metallic character of aluminium is less than Boron.. (Correct me if I am Wrong)
Across a period, the metallic character decreases.
