Period Number of Boron (B) (& Location, Uses ... 2022

All atoms have a period number assigned, even Boron. Ok but how do we know what is the period name for an atom of B?

If we know the symbol, let's say B, we may then open any periodic table and search for Boron. Any decent periodic table should have the period numbers when you scroll left starting from the element you found.

In the case of Boron the period number is 2. There is a lot of cool stuff about Boron that people simply don't know. Let me show you...
