Boron is one of many elements on the periodic table. Its atomic number is five and its symbol is the letter B. The atomic weight of boron is 10.811. It is a solid at room temperature. The group number of boron is 13 and the periodic number of boron is 2. It is also found in the p block. Its element category is a metalloid. Boron comes from the Arabic word Buraq and the Persian word Burah, both of which mean the material called “Borax”. Boron is a tough element – ​​very hard and very resistant to heat. In its crystalline form, it is the second hardest element on the Mohs scale – only carbon (diamond) is harder. Only 11 elements have higher melting points than boron: they are C, W, Re, Os, Ta, Mo, Nb, Ir, Ru, Hf and Tc. Boron was discovered by Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac and Louis Jacques Thénard on June 30, 1808. This element has contributed enormously to chemistry over the years. This is the history of boron and how it affected chemistry. The time before boron was difficult. Since people didn't have boron, they wouldn't have made Borax. Which is a substance made for key...
