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.
All atoms of the same element will have the same number of protons. The number of protons is the same as the atomic number, 5. The number of neutrons depends on the isotope; however, the most common naturally occurring isotope is 11B, with 6 neutrons.

boron-10 the most common isotope of boron, has 5 protons and 5 neutrons. The less common boron-11 has the same number of protons and 6 neutrons.
Boron has 5 protons and 5 electrons Boron has two stable isotopes, one with 5 neutrons and 6 neutrons.
a regular boron atom (5B11 isotope) has six neutrons and five protons
5 protons, 5 electrons and 6 neutrons :)
Boron has 2 isotopes and both are stable thus, depending on the isotope, an atom of Boron could have 5 or 6 neutrons in it nucleus. 10B has 5 neutrons (and 5 protons) 11B has 6 neutrons (and 5 protons) As about about 80% of all boron is 11B, most Boron atoms will be found to have 6 neutrons.
Boron-11 has 5 protons and 6 neutrons. This is because each element has a specific number of protons in its atoms that never changes. Boron atoms always have 5 protons. And when the number of protons (5) is subtracted from the mass number (11), the result is the number of neutrons (6).

5 protons 8 neutrons try it
5 Protons,6 Electrons,5 Neutrons
5 protons and electrons and the number of neutrons depends on the isotope
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.
