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.
The electron configuration for boron is 1s2 2s2 2p1. In the electron configuration, the first number stands for the energy level, and the letter stands for the orbital type, also called the sublevel of the main energy level. The second number, typically written in superscript, indicates the number of electrons. Continue Reading.
