This is not an atom of the element Boron (group 13, period 2), between Berillium and Carbon in the Periodic Table. It is a non-existing negative ion of Boron.
An electrically neutral atom of boron has 5 electrons. This is because the number of electrons in a neutral atom equals the number of protons, and boron has an atomic number of 5, indicating it has 5 protons. Therefore, to maintain electrical neutrality, it also has 5 electrons.
With 4 protons, 3 electrons, and 5 neutrons, this atom is an isotope of beryllium. The number of protons in an atom determines its identity, so this atom is still beryllium due to its 4 protons. The difference in neutron number makes it an isotope of beryllium.

polonium has 84 protons and 125 neutrons.84 electrons
Neutrons do not affect the neutrality (or charge) of an atom; protons and electrons do. In order to be neutral, the number of protons must be the same as the number of electrons.
5 electrons because no. of protons= no. of electrons
Boron has an atomic number of 5, which means that it has 5 protons in its nucleus. In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons surrounding the nucleus. Therefore, a boron atom has 5 electrons to balance the 5 protons.
The number of protons in an atom determine what element it is, while the number of electrons is what gives it it's electric charge (positive, neutral, or negative. i.e. if there are 5 protons and 5 electrons, the atom will have a neutral charge.
A neutral boron atom has 5 electrons. On the periodic table, the atomic number of boron is 5. This means that all boron atoms have 5 protons in their nuclei. Protons are positively charged, and electrons are negatively charged, therefore, a neutral boron atom has 5 protons and 5 electrons.

Atomic number = 5So there are 5 electronsAtomic number=protons=electrons
5 protons, 5 electrons and 6 neutrons :)
5 electrons because no. of protons= no. of electrons
It is the boron element. It contains similar numbers of electrons and protons.
An atom of boron-10 (10B) has 5 electrons. The atomic number of boron is 5, indicating the number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom.
