Question

boron is in metals, metalloids or non metals​

Answer 1

Boron is a non metallic element and the only non-metal of the group 13 of the periodic table the elements. Boron is electron-deficient, possessing a vacant p-orbital. It has several forms, the most common of which is amorphous boron, a dark powder, unreactive to oxygen, water, acids and alkalis.

$\bold{\Huge\red{\boxed{{{Answer}}}}}$

✒ Boron is a metalloid.

☞ About Boron

• Boron is a chemical element with the symbol B and atomic number 5.
• It constitutes about 0.001 percent by weight of Earth's crust.
• Boron is concentrated on Earth by the water-solubility of its more common naturally occurring compounds, the borate minerals.
• These are mined industrially as evaporites, such as borax and kernite.
• The largest known boron deposits are in Turkey, the largest producer of boron minerals.
• Produced entirely by cosmic ray spallation and supernovae and not by stellar nucleosynthesis.
• It is a low-abundance element in the Solar System and in the Earth's crust.

✒ Classification of Elements

✏ The elements are divided in 3 parts they are :-

1. Metals
2. Non-metals
3. Metalloids

-----------------------------------------

☞ What are Metals ?

• 78% of known elements are metals.
• They take up the left side of the Periodic Table.
• At room temperature, they are usually solids (except mercury).
• They usually have high boiling and melting points.
• They are shiny having metallic lustre.

☞ What are Non-metals ?

• They occupy the right-hand side of the Periodic Table.
• Most non-metals are brittle and are not malleable or ductile.
• At room temperature, they are usually solids or gases.
• They usually have low boiling and melting points (except carbon and boron).
• They are poor conductors of heat and electricity.

☞ What are Metalloids ?

• Metalloids exhibit some properties of metals as well as of non-metals. 
• They may have a metallic or dull appearance.
• They are usually brittle and are fair conductors of electricity.
• They may gain or lose electrons during chemical reactions.
• They form alloys with metals.
