Boron

The boron family includes elements such as boron and aluminum that react with oxygen to form oxides. They also react with acids to release hydrogen gas. Additionally, some members of the boron family can react with water to form hydroxides.

The boron group, also known as Group 13 on the periodic table, includes boron, aluminum, gallium, indium, and thallium. These elements have three valence electrons and exhibit a range of reactivities. Boron is a nonmetal and can be quite reactive, while the other elements in the group are metals and are typically less reactive.

Boron is naturally a gas. It does not have luster.

Boron is not a metal; it is a metalloid. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals. Boron has some metallic properties, such as being a good conductor of electricity, but it also exhibits nonmetallic characteristics.

The atoms of the element boron (atomic number 5) have the electron configuration

1s2 2s2 2p1

*or noble-gas form [He] 2s2 2p1

Boron citrate is used as a dietary supplement to support bone health and healthy joint function. It is also used in some skincare products for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, boron citrate can be used as a supplement to help regulate hormone levels and support brain function.

Boron is a metalloid element, which means it has properties of both metals and nonmetals. It is commonly found in nature as borax and other borate minerals.

It depends on how pure you want it to be, and what you want to do with it. If, say, you are looking for a cheap source of water-soluble boron (for mixing into a formula for killing ants), you can probably pick up a 2 kg box of "20 Mule Team" Borax for about US$2.00 at your local supermarket. Borax should be about 11 % B.

You could probably buy a small bottle of Boric Acid, U.S.P. (a compound meeting all the

purity tests specified in the United States Pharmacopeia) for about US$5.00 at your local pharmacy. Boric Acid is used (diluted in lots of water) as an eye-wash for sore eyes, and the Anhydrous (without any combined water) Boric Acid should be about 17 % B.

If you want the C.P. (chemically pure, "technical" grade), 99.0+% elemental B, 1 g is

offered for sale at US$30.00 here:

Using the Chemical Abstracts Service registration number for Boron, CAS 7440-42-8 to search may help you find a better deal for your purposes.

If you want really, really, really pure Boron, similar to the purity of Silicon used to make

computer chips (before they are "doped" with tiny traces of other elements in specific places to make the transistors), you may be able to find a source who will make it for you for only a few US$100,000.00. Getting the last few impurities out of anything -

even a large single crystal of an element - becomes ridicuously expensive. Any sample of Boron big enough to see will have many atoms of other elements as impurities - most likely a layer of Oxygen from the air on the surface - even if it is "high purity".

Boron is being studied for its potential role in reducing symptoms of arthritis due to its anti-inflammatory properties and its ability to support bone health. Research suggests that boron may help decrease inflammation and pain associated with arthritis, as well as improve joint function. However, more studies are needed to fully understand the mechanisms and effectiveness of boron in arthritis treatment.

The chemical formula for boron tribromide is BBr3.

Boron is found in nature primarily in compounds, such as borax, boron minerals, and kernite. It is commonly found in arid regions like California, Turkey, and Chile. Boron can also be found in seawater and some fruits and vegetables.

The name "boron" comes from the Arabic word "buraq" and the Persian word "burah," both of which referred to borax, a compound that contains boron. The element boron was first isolated in 1808 by Sir Humphry Davy and Sir Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac.

dont be a moron, get boron. no you shouldt be stupid to go with this sloganbecuase your awesome

Foods That Contain Boron Include: Cabbage contains 145 ppm (parts per million) boron on a dry-weight basis

Dandelion contains 125 ppm boron meaning that just ten grams (just under 7 tablespoons) of dried dandelion shoots could provide more than 1 milligram of boron.

Parsley is rich in boron and it takes about 3 ounces of dried parsley to provide 3 milligrams of boron.

Apples consumed raw and with the skin contain 2.73mg of boron per kg on a fresh weight basis.

Other food sources of boron include dried fruits, grape juice, cherries, avocados and broccoli.

1. Boron is contained in fruits in vegetables.

2. The role of boron in human organism was not known today.

3. The concentration o boron in fresh foods is measured at the level of mg/kg (1-2 ppm).

Boron forms electron poor hydrides that can exist in many different shapes and formulas because of the hydrogen bridges it can form.

Bromine is indeed a diatomic element, but bromideis the ion, so it can be made of just one charged atom.

The molecular mass of borax (sodium tetraborate decahydrate - Na2B4O7.10H2O) is 381,37 g.

Boron is an element and is neither an anion or cation. If ionized it would tend to from B3+ and would be thus a cation.

It shouldn't matter what type of metal you use, you might get a little more attenuation with steel. I would recommend using a tin can, the copper would clean up the signal, but not by much.

During a flame test, boron typically produces a green flame. This distinctive color is due to the excitation of boron atoms, which emit light at specific wavelengths when heated. However, the intensity of the green flame can vary depending on the presence of other elements or compounds in the sample.

Boron gains noble gas configuration by losing 3 electrons. So it forms positive ions.

Boron has two stable isotopes: boron-10 and boron-11. Additionally, there are several radioactive isotopes of boron, but they are not stable and have relatively short half-lives. The presence of these isotopes makes boron an interesting element in various scientific and industrial applications, including nuclear reactions and materials science.

Yes, boron is considered beneficial for health in small amounts. It plays a role in bone health, hormone regulation, and may support cognitive function. While boron is not classified as an essential mineral, it can be found in foods such as nuts, fruits, and vegetables, contributing to overall nutrition. However, excessive intake can lead to toxicity, so moderation is key.
