    Boron is an element in the periodic table that is metalloid in nature and present in group 5 also known as the "Boron Group". Boron has much importance in many industries such as Glass industries, washing powder industries, and many industries that we discuss later.

    How many proton boron has?

    Boron has 5 protons.

    How many electrons does boron have?

    Boron has 5 electrons.

    How many neutrons does boron have?

    It depends on which isotopes we talk about. For example, the most stable isotope of boron is B-10 which contains 5 neutrons, and B-11 which contains 6 neutrons.

    Isotopes of  Boron:

    Boron has many isotopes according to our research boron has 15 isotopes which contain two stable isotopes B-10 and B-11 it also contains 13 radioactive isotopes which have very short half-lives. For example, B-8 has a half-life of about 771.9ms and B-12 which has a half-life of 20.20ms.

    Allotropy of Boron:

    Boron has 10 allotropical forms. Allotropy is the presence of one element in more than one physical form.

     Boron allotropy are following:

    1. Alpha-Rhombohedral 

    2. Beta-Rhombohedral 

    3. Beta-tetragonal

    In special circumstances, boron can also be synthesized in the form of its alpha-tetragonal and grama-orthorhombic.

    Boron Importance in Botany:

    It is a micronutrient which has very important for plant growth. It plays a very important role in the formation of the Cell wall, reproduction, nutrient uptake, Enzyme activation, sugar transport, and cell division.

    Boron in Biology:

    In human boron play an important role in bone health, hormone regulation, and brain functioning. In Animals, it plays an important role in connective tissue and reproductive function, and it shows important antimicrobial properties.

    Properties and Characteristics of Boron:

    1. Boron is a metalloid in nature. It means it shows some behavior of metal and some behavior of non-metal.

    2.  Boron has a very high melting point of about 2200 degrees Celsius.

    3. It does not react with oxygen or dissolve in water under ordinary conditions.

    4. It does not react with acid unless acid is heated.

    5. Its compounds produced a beautiful green flame on heating.

    6. Boron occurs principally as salts of various polymeric acids.

    Uses and Application of Boron:

    1. Boron-10 is used in neutron capture therapy as an experimental treatment of some brain cancer.

    2. Boron use in many industries include: 

    i. Glass industry

    Quantum entanglement: Strange process of physics

    QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT: STRANGE PROCESS OF PHYSICS  Science is boring. If you say yes. Then absolutely you do not know about the magical world of science known as the "Quantum world". Well, imaginative things happen there no one predicts this world. The word "Magic" is the real world to completely describe this world. For example, if someone says that nobody passes through the wall, then quantum tunneling comes, which is the process that makes quantum particles capable of passing through any obstacles between their paths. But in today's article, we talk about quantum entanglement which is a very strange phenomenon of quantum mechanics. In this article, we also talk about Einstein's EPR paradox which challenges quantum physics, and how quantum physics defends itself. Let start: So, generally, what is quantum physics? Quantum physics is the physics of small-scale particles within atoms and studying their behavior. These particles are also called "Quantum pa

    Aluminium: An Element that changes the world Completely

      Aluminum: An Element That Changes the World Completely Aluminium uses in aerospce industry Aluminum is a very lightweight metal. Alloy is very precise before 18 century it was more expensive than gold and silver. Its high price is due to its extraction cost from clay. In clay, it forms a very strong bond with oxygen that why it requires very high energy. Aluminum word derived from the Latin word "Alumen" which means "Bitter salt". Aluminium was discovered by Danish physicist " Hans Christian Orsted" in 1825. It has a silvery-white appearance. What is Aluminium? Aluminum is a very lightweight metal in the periodic table. It is the 13th element in the periodic table and also a very useful element. Where Aluminium mined?  Aluminum minerals include "Boehmite, Diaspore, Gibbsite, Cupalite, and steinhardtite, etc.," There are over 270 different types of aluminum minerals from which aluminum is extracted. Australia and China have huge resources for al

    HYDROGEN AND HELIUM: WHICH ONE IS BETTER FOR AIRSHIP

     HYDROGEN AND HELIUM: WHICH ONE IS BETTER FOR AIRSHIP Hydrogen and Helium are the two ideal elements for airships. The airship was the flying machine famous for transportation before the incident  "Hindenburg" occurred on  May 6,1937. Hydrogen is best in the way that it is lighter than air. It is less costly than helium. But it is very flammable. It's very reactive.  Helium on the other hand is heavier than hydrogen and also very costly. But it is inert and non-reactive. Kinds of Airship: There are three kinds of airship: 1. Blimp Airship There are better options than the blimp type of Airship. It has a single balloon so increasing the lifting gas in the balloon causes it to deform shape. It can't have support. 2. Semi-Rigid Airship Semi-rigid Airship has some support. Increasing its size is easier than Blimp Airship. But up to a certain size. 3. Rigid Airship Rigid Airship has special chambers. So, it is much easier to increase its size, and that is why it is an idea
