Boron is a chemical element with symbol B and atomic number 5. Produced entirely by cosmic ray spallation and supernovae and not by stellar nucleosynthesis, it is a low-abundance element in the Solar system and in the Earth's crust.
Boron is a chemical element. It is a metalloid. Its chemical symbol is B and its atomic number is 5. It was first discovered in 1808 by the efforts of French physicist Joseph-Louis Gay-Lussac, French chemist Louis-Jaques Thenard. They reacted sodium with boric acid to separate boron element. Later it was isolated by British chemist Sir Humphry Davy independently.
