boron was discovered by a man named sir humphry
I warn you: it's not very exciting. Boron was named after the mineral borax.
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 was not named after an individual. The mineral borax was know to ancient peoples, though they could not know its chemistry. Borax was called buraq in Arabic. From Middle-Persian, we get būrak, which is the root for burah in Persian. The name boron comes from these words for borax, and boron is one of the elements that makes up this mineral. A link can be found below for more information.
False: A compound whose molecules contain one boron atom and three fluorine atoms would be named "monoboron trifluoride" or simply "boron trifluoride".

No, the word Boron is supposedly from the Persian language, and was named after the mineral borax.
Deacon Blues, perhaps?

It is just named the boron group. The elements in the group are boron (B), aluminum (Al), gallium (Ga), indium (In), thallium (Tl), and unumtrium (Uut) (scienticially prepared). The boron group all have 3 electrons in their valence levels making them an unstable group.
It's in the aluminum family.
The western Mojave Desert with emphasis on Kern County which even has a town named Boron and the largest open pit mine in California.
You, but they changed the first letter from M to B so that no one would know.
