A nonmetallic element occurring abundantly in borax. It is reduced with difficulty to the free state, when it can be obtained in several different forms; viz., as a substance of a deep olive color, in a semimetallic form, and in colorless quadratic crystals similar to the diamond in hardness and other properties. It occurs in nature also in boracite, datolite, tourmaline, and some other minerals. Atomic number 5. Atomic weight 10.81. Symbol B.
(B) B. Element 5, atomic weight 10.811. Hard yellow crystals or brown amorphous powder, used as a neutron absorber in nuclear chemistry and as a hardener in alloys.
CAS Number: 7440-42-8. A metalloid element used in metallurgy and in composite structural materials. Chemical symbol = B. Molecular weight = 10.811 g/mol.
a trivalent metalloid element; occurs both in a hard black crystal and in the form of a yellow or brown powder
a light trace element that is turning out to be essential to human health and behavior
Plant essential micronutrient, usually found in the soil in a borate anionic form.
element from group III of the periodic table; acts as an acceptor in silicon; Boron is the only p-type dopant used in silicon device manufacturing. learn more.
A important trace element. Deficiency may occur on peaty soils with a high pH. Organic gardeners may have difficulty replenishing this. Probably the best idea is to keep your plants healthy with regular doses of seaweed feed.
An element that is commonly used as an P-type dopant in silicon.
a nonmetal that is also a p-type dopant for silicon. The most common source of boron is the gas diborane (B2H6).
a trace element found in many body tissues and may provide dietary support for bone structure.
The chemical element commonly used as the dopant in solar photovoltaic device or cell material.
A biologically dynamic semi-metallic element that occurs abundantly in the ore borax.
A soft, brown, nonmetallic element. It is extracted with some difficulty and in its reduced state appears as a substance of a deep olive color, in a semi-metallic form, and in colorless quadratic crystals similar to the diamond in hardness and other properties. Boron is used in flares, propellant mixtures, nuclear reactor control elements, abrasives, and hard metallic alloys.
Essential element for the growth and vitality of African Violets. A micronutrient. Boron is important for overall growth and the development of flowers.
a chemical element that absorbs neutrons, thus controlling or stopping a nuclear chain reaction.
An element used as a P-type dopant in crystal growing and in various fabrication processes
This semi-metallic element is combined with Iron and the rare earth element Neodymium to make the latest most powerful magnets. (See Neodymium Magnets and Rare Earth Magnets).
One of the lighter elements, represented by the symbol "B" on the periodic table of elements.
atomic symbol, B, boron is the 5th element in the periodic table (atomic number 5) with an atomic weight of 10.81. A group III element boron is an acceptor in silicon, i.e., makes silicon P-type. Boron is the most commonly used P-type dopant and has a relatively high diffusivity compared to arsenic and antimony, common N-type dopants, and a diffusivity and similar to phosphorus, another common N-type dopant.
The function of this micronutrient is not well understood, but it is suspected that it might aid carbohydrate transport.
One of the periodic chart elements. Its chemical symbol is B and its atomic weight is 10.82. In the form of borax and boric oxide, it is used as a flux in nonferrous metallurgy, and in the form of an alloy with other elements, as an addition to ferrous alloys. See Alloy, Flux.
