2022: Oxidation States of Boron (B) [& Origin, Uses, Discovery ...

Atoms may form different ions and have different oxidation states, even Boron. Ok, so what are the common oxidation states for an atom of B?

Note: Learn more about the oxidation states here.

In the case of Boron the most common oxidation states is (3). There are also cool facts about Boron that most don't know about. Let me show you...

Boron Data

Boron Oxidation States

3

Discovery

Discovered By: Sir H. Davy, J.L. Gay-Lussac, L.J. Thénard
Year: 1808
Location: England/France

Sources

Obtained from kernite, a kind of borax (Na2B4O7.10H2O). High purity boron is produced by electrolysis of molten potassium fluroborate and potassium chloride (KCl).

Atomic Mass

10,811

Learn more about the atomic mass.

Uses

Used with titanium & tungsten to make heat resistant alloys for jets & rockets.

Description

Hard, brittle, lustrous black semimetal. Exists in the earth's crust at an average proportion of about 10 parts per million.

Atomic Symbol

B

Name Origin

From Arabic and Persian words for borax.

Atomic Number

5

Video

Are you having trouble understanding the basics of atomic elements? This video will walk you through:
  • What is an element
  • What is a substance
  • What Elements look like
  • How a small number of atoms can be joined and form completely different substances

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Oxidation States of Boron (B) [& Origin, Uses, Discovery ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
