Boron is not explosive and I'm not sure if it is radioactive!
Boron itself is not inherently explosive. However, some boron compounds, such as boron nitride or some boron-containing explosives, can be explosive under certain conditions.
There are no radioactive isotopes of boron that are ordinarily found in nature. All elements have synthetic radioactive isotopes, however.
no it is not
NO --------------- I know of no pure carbon forms that are explosive (maybe there is some strained crystal structures). Though carbon could be explosive if a fine dispersion of it in air was ignited. Also acetylene and particularly its silver salt is very explosive Ag-CΞC-Ag. Even though this isn't purely carbon based, the energy is stored in the tripple bond between the carbon atoms.
Einsteinium is a radioactive element and is not inherently explosive. However, it can release energy in the form of radiation as it decays, but it is not known to exhibit explosive properties.

I could be wrong but I think boron is radioactive.
Radium is strongly radioactive.
no
yes it blew up the world
yes it is
Uranium, boron, hydrogen are chemical elements. Salt (NaCl) is a chemical compound.
I'm wondering this too, for 55 gal drum air filtration canisters. Boron is not radioactive, it is stable. The outer shell of the boron atom has only one electron so the boron atom will grab free electrons until the outer shell is completely full. Then it is saturated and needs to be replaced with new boron. To remove radioactive particles from air I'm looking at boron silicate microfiber, which is used in Nuclear Grade HEPA Type B filters
That the substance is dangerous & explosive.
There are at least 50 different elements produced in a nuclear explosion, most are fission products in 2 peaks, some are formed by neutron capture and beta decay. The majority of these are radioactive isotopes of the elements.
Boron itself does not explode under normal conditions, but it can be reactive and flammable, particularly in its powdered form. When exposed to high temperatures or an open flame, boron can ignite and burn vigorously, potentially leading to hazardous situations. Additionally, when boron is part of certain chemical compounds or mixtures, it may contribute to explosive reactions under specific conditions. However, boron alone is not classified as an explosive material.
