How many electrons does boron have?
Boron is a chemical element with symbol B and atomic number 5. Classified as a metalloid, Boron is a solid at room temperature. Example – Atomic number densities of boron carbide. A control rod usually contains solid boron carbide with natural boron. Natural boron consists primarily of two stable isotopes, 11 B (80.1%) and 10 B (19.9%). Boron carbide has a density of 2.52 g/cm 3. Determine the atomic number densities of indivitual constituents. Atomic Number of Boron Atomic Number of Boron is 5. Chemical symbol for Boron is B. Number of protons in Boron is 5. Atomic weight of Boron is 10.81 u or g/mol. Melting point of Boron is 2300 °C and its the boiling point is 2550 °C.

Boron atomic number 5 has five electrons in its ground state.
Commonly Boron will lose 3 electrons leaving 2 electrons in its most common ionic form.
Explanation:
The atomic number gives the number of protons. Protons which have a positive charge are balanced by an equal number of electrons in a neutral atom.
Boron number 5 has five protons and therefore as a neutral atom also has five electrons.
Boron has an electron configuration of
The most stable electron configuration for Boron is
Explanation:
Boron is element number 5 in the Periodic Table.
That means it contains five protons and five electrons.
They are arranged with two electrons in the first energy shell and three in the second.
A chemist would say that the electron configuration of boron is
