boron (inorganic material, <materials by composition>, ... Materials (Hierarchy Name))

 

Note: Non-metallic solid element, atomic number 5, symbol B, with several specialized uses, such as in alloy steels, in semiconductors, and in commercially valuable compounds such as borax and boric acid. It is usually prepared as a brown powder, but when very pure it forms hard, shiny, dark crystals.

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Niet-metalig vast element, atoomnummer 5, symbool B, met diverse specialistische toepassingen, bijvoorbeeld in staallegeringen, halfgeleiders en commercieel waardevolle verbindingen als borax en boorzuur. Meestal wordt het geleverd als bruin poeder, maar in zijn zuiverste vorm bestaat boron uit harde, glimmende, donkere kristallen.
