It smells like nothing not sure of the taste though...
Boron itself is not known to have a specific taste as it is a mineral and is not typically consumed in its pure form. However, certain boron compounds may give a bitter taste when ingested in high concentrations.
The electronegativity of boron is approximately 2.04 on the Pauling scale. Boron is considered to have low electronegativity compared to other elements like fluorine or oxygen.
The allotropes of boron include amorphous boron, crystalline boron, and boron nitride (hexagonal and rhombohedral forms). These allotropes have different structures and properties, with applications in various industries like ceramics, electronics, and aerospace. Boron exhibits a wide range of properties due to its different structures and bonding configurations in these allotropes.
Boron is extracted from boron compounds found in minerals such as borax and kernite through processes like ion exchange or fractional crystallization. It can also be produced through the reduction of boron trihalides with hydrogen or sodium.

Boron can be found in a regular magnet (like in [or on] your refrigerator).

Boron, like all other elements, has one nucleus per atom.
Boron itself does not have a distinctive smell. However, compounds containing boron can have various odors depending on their specific chemical structure.
Boron's family has no specific name like the Halogens or the Alkali metals. It is simply the Boron Family.
it is dull
Boron does not have a distinct luster as it is typically found in an amorphous powder form. It is a non-metal and does not display metallic luster like other metals.
Boron (B) has 3 electrons in its outer shell, just like the other members of the 3A family. Boron's outer electrons are 2s2 2p1.
