In general, boron will form 3 covalent bonds, using each of its 3 valence shell electrons (sharing them). This will of course violate the octet rule, but obeys the sextet rule, and this is what makes boron stable. It (along with aluminum, eg.) do not obey the octet rule.
In a nitrogen atom's ground state, it has five atoms. The electron will have to gain three electrons to become stable.
Sort of... The general tendency is for a larger atom to be less stable. Above a certain point (after lead) no stable atoms are known to exist.Sort of...

It depends on the atom. List what element the atom is from.
All you need is the atomic number, which gives the number of protons, in this case, 5. In any neutral atom the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons. So any neutral boron atom will have 5 electrons.
An atom of a nonmetal becomes an ion, specifically an anion, by attracting to itself one or more electrons from one or more atoms of one or more other and less electronegative elements.
Boron can exist in both forms, as a neutral atom or as an ion. In its most common form, boron is a neutral atom with five electrons. However, boron can also form ions by gaining or losing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
The ion charge of a boron atom can vary depending on the specific ion formed. Boron typically forms ions with a charge of +3 by losing three electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
When the atom has 8 valence electrons.
Boron is an atom or element, and it contains protons, electrons, and neutrons.
A covalent bond exists between a boron atom and an iodine atom. In this bond, the atoms share an electron pair to achieve a stable electronic configuration. Boron has 3 valence electrons, while iodine has 7, so they can share electrons to complete their outer electron shells.
Boron is an element, and there are certainly atoms of boron. Saying that "boron is an atom" is a slight misuse of terminology, though.
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 can be stable maybe if it is in the room temperature
The boron atom in BF3 has sp2 hybridization.
The symbol of a boron atom is "B", and the number of electrons in a neutral atom is the same as the number of protons, which equals the atomic number of boron: 5.
The atomic number of boron (5) indicates the number of protons in the nucleus of a boron atom. This means that a boron atom has 5 protons. Since atoms are electrically neutral, it also tells us that a boron atom has 5 electrons to balance the positive charge of the protons.
Boron, mostly.
