No, Boron is semi-metallic...
Boron is a Group 13 element. Boron has properties which are borderline between metals and non-metals. It is a semiconductor rather than a metallic conductor. Chemically it is closer to silicon than to aluminium, gallium, indium, and thallium.

Boron is a metalloid, an component with the two steel and non-steel residences. it extremely is a in many circumstances poor conductor of warmth and electrical energy like a non-metallic and it extremely is brittle, even though it surely conducts electrical energy properly like a metallic at intense temperatures. additionally, like a non-metallic, it types covalent bonds with non-metals, yet like a metallic, it has a tendency to lose electrons in a chemical reaction.
