The description appears to contain an inconsistency in the number of electrons. An atom typically has the same number of protons and electrons, making it neutral. If an atom has 5 protons, it is boron, which usually has 5 electrons. However, if it has 2 electrons, it would be a boron ion with a +3 charge, and if it has 3 electrons, it would be a boron ion with a +2 charge.
