Boron

A boron atom contains 5 protons, 5 electrons, and usually 6 neutrons. It has three electrons in its outer shell, making it capable of forming three covalent bonds.

The chemical formula for boron chloride is BCl3.

Boron itself is not flammable. It is a non-metallic element that does not react with oxygen under normal conditions to catch fire. However, some boron compounds may be flammable depending on their composition.

Boron is a solid at room temperature and pressure.

Yes, boron was first discovered in the form of borax deposits in Death Valley, California, by gold prospectors in the 19th century. The element boron was later isolated and identified from these borax minerals.

1s2 2s2 2p1 is the electron configuration for boron, and it has a total of 5 electron. Just fill the orbital up with the elements total number of electrons until no more are left, then u have your electron configuration

Boron was discovered in 1808 by Sir Humphry Davy and Jöns Jakob Berzelius.

The boron group, or simply group 13.

(Apparently according to wikpedia it has been called the icosagens - presumably because boron adopts an icosahedral structure (20 sided)- none of the others do so presumablly that is why it hasn't caught on)

The Atomic Symbol is B

French chemists Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac and Louis Jacques Thénard are credited with the discovery of boron in 1808. They produced it by conducting a reduction reaction on borax with potassium metal.

Boron is formed through cosmic ray spallation and supernova nucleosynthesis. It is not found freely in nature but rather in borate minerals such as borax and kernite. Boron is primarily extracted through mining these minerals and processed into various compounds for industrial use.

The cost of boron may vary depending on the form and purity of the element. In general, the price range for boron can range from $3-$50 per kilogram in bulk quantities. Specialty forms or high-purity grades may be priced higher. The cost of boron compounds may also vary.

Yes, boron is considered brittle due to its atomic structure that makes it prone to cleavage. It is a hard and brittle semi-conductor with high melting and boiling points, making it useful in certain industrial applications.

Yes, like all elements boron can exist as a solid, liquid, or gas.

Boron is in Group 13 of the periodic table. It is a metalloid element with the symbol B and atomic number 5.

Boron has several uses, such as in the production of glass, ceramics, and detergents. It is also used in some pesticides and in nuclear reactors as a neutron absorber. Additionally, boron is used in the manufacture of high-strength materials like boron fibers and composites.

Boron is primarily mined in countries like Turkey, the United States, and Argentina. The largest boron reserves in the world are found in Turkey, specifically in the Bigadiç district of Balıkesir province. Other significant boron mining locations include California in the United States and Salta province in Argentina.

Melting Point: 2349 K, 2076 0C, 3769 0F

Boiling Point: 4200 K, 3927 0C, 7101 0F

I warn you: it's not very exciting.

Boron was named after the mineral borax.

Household brooms are typically made from a combination of materials including plastic, metal, and natural fibers like straw, corn husks, or bamboo. The handle is usually made from wood or plastic for durability and ease of use.

One method to obtain a pure sample of boron is by reducing boron oxide with a metal at high temperatures. Another method is through the electrolysis of molten boron compounds. Purification processes like sublimation and distillation may also be used to achieve a high-purity boron sample.

Boron does not react with water or oxygen but when Boron burns it creates boron trioxide and when Boron burns in air when heated it creates a mixture of Boron trioxide and Boron Nitrate. Boron does not react with Acids or Alkalis and will only react if it is in a highly divided state. Also Boron is oxidised by Nitric Acid to produce Boric Acid and finally Boron reacts with fused Sodium Hydroxide to form Sodium, Borate and Hydrogen.

Boron is also used in the bearings of wind turbines and in the nuclear industry for a moderator for neutrons.

6 electrons and 6 protons

boron can be stable maybe if it is in the room temperature
