Boron

Boron itself is not flammable, but some boron-containing compounds may be flammable under certain conditions. Boron compounds are often used as flame retardants because they can help slow down or inhibit the spread of fires.

Atoms of boron and aluminum both have three electrons in their outermost energy level, making them part of the group 13 elements on the periodic table. They are both metals with similar properties such as being good conductors of heat and electricity.

Boron is an exception to the octet rule because it only has six electrons in its outer shell, so it can form stable compounds with fewer than eight electrons. This occurs because boron is in the second row of the periodic table and can form stable compounds by sharing fewer electrons.

The chemical formula for boron oxide is B2O3

Boron is a solid at room temperature. It is a metalloid element with a high melting point of 2076°C, so it remains in solid form under typical room temperature conditions.

It could be mercury, which is a dense, silvery-colored liquid metal at room temperature. Mercury has interesting properties, such as being highly reflective and having a high surface tension that gives it a "shiny" appearance. However, mercury is toxic and should be handled carefully.

Boron is a Solid at room temperature, and it is a metalloid. Also it is in Group 3A, or Group 13

Boron Trifluoride has a trigonal planar molecular shape, with an sp2 hybridization. This means the molecule is flat and the three fluorine atoms are arranged symmetrically around the boron atom in a triangular shape.

BCl3 is the formula for Boron Chloride. As a matter of interest it does not obey the octet rule. It is also called a Lewis Acid.

one part boron to alot of parts oxide
can be displayed like
b1(O2)x

i don't know what the hardness of boron is.... that's why im asking u people

Boron Bicarbonate B(HCO3)3

The electron configuration for boron is 1s2 2s2 2p1, where the first two electrons fill the 1s orbital, the next two fill the 2s orbital, and the last electron occupies the 2p orbital. Boron has 5 total electrons.

Boron is a solid at standard temperature and pressure.

The thermal conductivity of boron is relatively low, ranging from 27 to 30 watts per meter per kelvin (W/mK). This means that boron is not a very good conductor of heat compared to other materials.

Boron is a semiconductor with a high thermal conductivity and low electrical conductivity. It can act as an acceptor or a donor in semiconductors, making it useful in electronic applications. Boron-based materials are also being explored for potential applications in superconductors, batteries, and solar cells.

Boron is not very malleable. It is a brittle and hard material, and it can fracture or shatter rather than deform when subjected to pressure or stress. This makes it difficult to shape or mold boron into different forms using traditional malleability methods.

It is often a mistake to ask how reactive a compound is, different chemicals react differently when reacting depending on the other reagents and conditions etc.

But with that off my chest, I'll assume that you mean how reactive boron is in ambient conditions and the answer is not very. Most of its alleotrops are stable and it does not react violently with water or air so no BOOM or flames. It is slightly flammable but no overly needing a good ignition source.

It however is capable of some very interesting chemistry. It has 3 valent electrons and it is electron poor, and so was be used to dope silicon for p-type material. It can be used to make a reducing reagent AND an oxidant. Its borane compounds vary widely in structure with many hydrogen bridges which can be used to power rockets etc the list goes on, interesting I swear.

I'm typing all this while listening to an interesting jazz vocalist take a listen if you'd like, she's good.

Extremely hard about 9.5 on Mohs' scale

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 is a pure substance. It is a chemical element with an atomic number of 5 and is found in nature as a solid.

Well you take the atom # right?Then you take the number and divide it by 2 then you have the number of neutrons.Then you do the same thing with with the protons/electrons.And sorry Can't really explane the rest on a page :L

The boron family is called so because it consists of elements that share similar properties to boron, the first element in the group. These elements exhibit similar chemical behavior and have the same number of valence electrons, resulting in comparable characteristics.

Boron is a relatively rare element in the Earth's crust, with an abundance of about 10 parts per million. It is found in minerals and compounds rather than in its pure form. Despite its scarcity, boron plays important roles in various industrial and technological applications.
