What Is The Element Properties Of Boron?
Boron is basically a chemical element which is trivalent metalloid in nature. It is found in abundance in evaporite ores borax and ulexite. Following are the properties of Boron: – Crystalline or elemental boron is a transmitter of infrared light. – Elemental Boron is a poor electrical conductor at room temperature. – Elemental Boron is a good conductor at high temperatures. – It can form stable covalent bonded molecular networks. – It is used for heat resistant alloys. – It can form compounds that have a formal oxidation state not equal to three. – Boron is electron deficient and is an electrophile.
