How many protons,neutrons,and electrons in Boron?

Question

please help me, I need to know this for a research report, and I can't find the answer!

Answer 1

Protons=5
Neutrons =6
Electrons =5

Answer 2

Boron has five protons, and assuming it's not an ion, five electrons. The number of neutrons depends on the isotope. It can have anywhere from 2 to 14 neutrons, although only the isotopes with 5 or 6 neutrons is stable. Boron 11 (with 6 neutrons) is 80% of the boron found in nature, boron 10 (with 5 neutrons) is 20% of the boron found in nature.

Answer 3

Number of Protons/Electrons: 5
Number of Neutrons: 6

Answer 4

The symbol for Boron is B.

Its standard state is a solid at 298 K.

Boron is a semiconductor.

Boron has 5 protons and electrons and 6 neutrons.

Boron has a brownish color.

Boron is heat resistant.

Answer 5

Although boron has only 3 electrons in its outermost shell, but boron is a non-metallic element. Firstly, by examining the periodic table, in the same period, beryllium is amphoteric, since boron lies on the right of beryllium, it tends to show more non-metallic character; in the same group, aluminium, which is below boron, is amphoteric, thus boron, which lies above aluminium, shows more non-metallic properties. Thus, boron is considered as a non-metal. This is because the attractive force from the nucleus is too strong for boron to lose three electrons as metals to have the noble gas configuration. Even if we assume that boron has B(3+) cation, but due to the high energy charge it bears and the small radius of B(3+), it will distort any ionic bonding to a covalent-dominant bonding. This reluctance of forming ionic bonding can be also deduced from its neighbours, beryllium and aluminium that often form covalent bonds with other non-metals. Thus, we say that it is impossible for boron to lose electron like metals. In combination with other substances, boron tends to form a sextet rather than octet. For instance, BF3 in which boron has 6 electrons in its outermost shell. Thus, such boron compounds tend to act as Lewis acid to react with electron pair donators to achieve a octet configuration. It reacts with ammonia: BF3 + NH3 → H3NBF3. This now has been used for the manufacture of tetrafluoroborate salts in organic chemistry, by using a fluoride with BF3: F(-) + BF3 → BF4(-). Tetrafluoroborate anion is very stable so that when we test for the reactivity of a cation, we often use the tetrafluoroborate salt of this cation so that we can confidently say that the extreme reactivity comes from the cation, not the anion. This salt is also useful in keeping reactive groups. For instance, the very reactive nitrosonium cation, NO(+), forms stable salt with BF4(-).

Answer 8

If you are doing a research report, you are supposed to do the research. All the previous answers are incomplete because there are two common, stable isotopes of boron. Even the basic reference below tells you this.

Update: rt66lt answered just before I did and mentioned the other isotopes.

Answer 9

if it has to do with wiley plus the answer is 4

Answer 10

If you asked me 2 years ago, I would have known. I'm no help now! :)
