    Boron has approximately 230 minerals from which boron is extracted. These minerals include kernite, tincalconite, probertite, ulexite, colemanite, meyerhofferite, inyoite, pandermite, inderite, hydroboracite, datolite, sassolite, and many more I hope I explain these minerals in detail in other article.

    History of Boron:

    In ancient times boron was used by China in the form of sodium tetraborate which was white in color but not pure form. It was first isolated by Joseph-Louis, Gay-Lussac, and Louis-Jaques, French chemists, and independently by Sir Humphry Davy, an English chemist, in 1808. They all isolated Boron by combining boric acid with potassium.

    What is Boron?

    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.

    Quantum field theory: The most beautiful theory

    Quantum field theory: The most beautiful theory  Quantum field theory is a combination of quantum theory and field theory. It provides help in combining quantum mechanics, classical mechanics, and special relativity. Nature loves beauty. Like nature, science is also like a beautiful theory. The theory which gives answers to all the questions of nature. In the beginning, classical mechanics was the most beautiful theory because it could answer all phenomena of nature accurately. But as our technology improves we can deep dive into matter and energy. The logic of classical mechanics becomes unvaried and that is why we need another theory that can explain all the phenomena at the quantum level. Quantum mechanics was able to resolve all the questions of the quantum world and then now become the most beautiful theory of science. It explains many phenomena like  Quantum entanglement , quantum tunneling, and other such strange phenomena. But quantum mechanics also won't be able to ex...

    HALOGEN FAMILY: THE MOST REACTIVE FAMILY OF THE PERIODIC TABLE

    HALOGEN FAMILY: THE MOST REACTIVE FAMILY OF THE PERIODIC TABLE Introduction: The halogen family contains fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. These elements are know for their reactiveness. This family contains many reactive elements known including fluorine which is one of the most reactive non-metals in the periodic table.  We are starting to talk about this family and its unique properties which blow your mind.   So, let's start: Fluorine: Fluorine is a very reactive non-metal. It is because of the fact that it has higher charged nuclei which are not shielded by electrons. That is why it attracts other element's electrons and thus forms compounds with them. Properties of fluorine: There are the following properties of fluorine: 1. Fluorine as discussed earlier is extremely electronegative which means it attracts electrons of other elements. 2. Fluorine is a highly reactive element. 3. Fluorine is very toxic and causes many disorders in the bodies of anima...
