Meanings
-
(uncountable, usually) The chemical element (symbol B) with an atomic number of 5, which is a metalloid found in its pure form as a dark amorphous powder.
PIRG noted the European Union has a limit of 300 ppm for boron and that there should be a “full-fledged investigation to determine if limits should be established” in the US.
2018 November 20, Wayne Drash, “Consumer group warns of ‘dangerous’ slime products and other hazardous toys”, in CNN:The B₆-type octahedral borons are each bonded to five other boron atoms; four are part of the same octahedron, and one is external to this octahedron.
1976, Allen M[yron] Alper, editor, Phase Diagrams: Materials Science and Technology (Refractory Materials; 6), New York, N.Y.; London: Academic Press, →ISBN, page 106:For each X point, four borons in the same plane composing a B₆ cluster provide these orbitals.
