Boron

The atomic radius of boron is approximately 90 picometers (pm).

There are no radioactive isotopes of boron that are ordinarily found in nature. All elements have synthetic radioactive isotopes, however.

The atomic number of boron is 5, and since the atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms, boron atoms have 5 protons in their nuclei.

A boron atom consists of a nucleus with five protons and usually five or six neutrons, surrounded by two electron shells. It has a compact spherical shape with a small radius, making it one of the smallest atoms in the periodic table. The electron configuration of boron is 2-3, meaning it has two electrons in the first shell and three in the second shell.

Boron is a naturally occurring element found in soil, water, and food. In large amounts, boron can be toxic and cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. However, it is unlikely that typical dietary exposure to boron would be sufficient to cause harm.

It can be found in sea water.

The melting point of Boron is 2349 Kelvin.

The boron family, also known as Group 13, includes boron, aluminum, gallium, indium, and thallium. These elements share the common property of having three electrons in their outermost shell, which allows them to form +3 oxidation states in compounds. They exhibit both metallic and non-metallic properties, with decreasing metallic character going down the group.

The density of the element boron is 2,340 kg/m³ or 2.34 g/cm³.

The correct SI measure of the density is kg/m³.

"Family" in this context usually means a column of a wide form Periodic Table. With this meaning, the other elements in the boron family are aluminum, gallium, indium, and tellurium.

Boron does not have a defined freezing point because it sublimes directly from a solid to a gas at around 2300 degrees Celsius.

Boron is primarily obtained through mining of boron minerals such as borax, kernite, and ulexite. These minerals are typically found in arid regions, and boron is extracted through processes like solution mining or open-pit mining. Once extracted, boron is refined to produce various boron compounds for industrial use.

Boron, also in Group 13, belongs to the Boron Family.

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.

Count the electrons in the following way: -- each lone pair counts as 2 electrons -- each single bond counts as 2 electrons -- each double bound counts as 4 electrons -- each triple bond counts as 6 electons. -- if it an ion with a positive charge, subtract 1 electron for each charge from the total (after counting all the bonds and lone pairs) -- if it an ion with a negative charge, add 1 electron for each charge to the total (after counting all the bonds and lone pairs) Add up all the contributions for the total number of electrons!

Boron was discovered by Joseph Gay-Lussac and Baron Louis Thénard in France, and by Sir Humphry Davy in England, around 1808. It is anybody's guess who actually isolated it first.

Boron's family has no specific name like the Halogens or the Alkali metals. It is simply the Boron Family.

THE STRONGER THE TENDENCY TO LOSE ELECTRONS,THE MORE ELECTROPOSITIVE AND MORE METALLIC AN ELEMENT IS.SINCE BORON IS VERY SMALL AND THE FORCE OF ATTRACTION BETWEEN THE NUCLEUS AND THE VALENCE ELECTRON IS VERY HIGH,AS WELL AS LARGE VALUE OF IONIZATION POTENTIAL INDICATES THAT BORON DOES NOT HAVE THE TENDENCY TO LOSE ELECTRONS THAT IS WHY IT IS LESS ELECTROPOSITIVE AND THEREFORE IT IS A NON-METAL

Swedish scientist Jons Jakob Berzelius named boron in 1808.

The boron family is also known as group 13 in the periodic table, and it includes the elements boron, aluminum, gallium, indium, and thallium.

Boron, B belongs to the semiconductors(metalloids) family. Semiconductors are located toward the right side of the periodic table.

3 valence electrons
There are three valance electrons. These are the electrons in the outer shell if it is not full.
