No, nitrogen has a higher electronegativity than boron. This means nitrogen has a stronger tendency to attract electrons in a chemical bond compared to boron.

What has two more protons than boron?

Carbon has two more protons than boron. Boron has 5 protons while carbon has 6 protons.


Which atom has the smaller ionization energy B or N?

Boron has a larger ionization energy than nitrogen. Nitrogen has a smaller atomic size compared to boron, resulting in stronger nuclear attraction for its electrons, making it more difficult to remove an electron from a nitrogen atom than from a boron atom.


Is boron inert?

Boron is not generally considered inert, as it can react with certain substances to form compounds. However, boron is less reactive than other elements in the same group, such as carbon and nitrogen.


Is boron atomicly bigger or smaller than Oxygen?

Boron has a larger atomic radius but a smaller atomic mass.


Is boron heavier than air?

Yes, boron is heavier than air. The atomic mass of boron is about 10.81 g/mol, while the average molar mass of air (mostly nitrogen and oxygen) is about 28.97 g/mol. Therefore, boron is denser and heavier than air.


Is there anything lighter than oxygen?

In fact there are seven elements lighter than oxygen: hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon and nitrogen.


A member of the boron family has three valance electrons while a member of the nitrogen family has?

Five valence electrons. Members of the nitrogen family (Group 15) have five valence electrons, one more than members of the boron family (Group 13).


Is nitrogen bigger than oxygen?

They both have the same amount. NO2 (Nitrogen Dioxide) has one Nitrogen atom. NO (Nitrogen Monoxide) also has one Nitrogen atom. However, nitrogen monoxide has a higher % nitrogen in the molecule both by mole % and weight %.


Is boron-11 more abundant than boron-10?

Yes, boron-10 is more abundant than boron-11. Boron-10 makes up about 19.9% of natural boron, while boron-11 makes up about 80.1%.


Is chlorine more dense than boron?

At room temperature chlorine is a gas, boron is a solid. So at room temperature boron is much denser than chlorine.


Nitrogen tri floride has little tendency to act as electron acceptor as compaire to boron tri floride?

NB: I have changed the question from electron donor to electron acceptor as BF3 has no electron donating properties and so it must be assumed the original question was erroneous.So NF3. Nitrogen has 8 electrons and a full shell. Each Fluorine has 8 electrons and a full shell. That's a stable, satisfied molecule. Accepting or donating electrons is thermodynamically unfavourable.BF3, however...is very electron poor. The fluorines actually donate electron density to the boron via weak pi bonding to help compensate the molecule's strong electron poverty. The boron is 2 electrons from completing it's octet (and thus becoming very stable) and so is a strong Lewis acid (lone pair acceptor). By accepting two electrons, BF3 can become electronically equivalent to NF3.
