Identify the correct statements about Boron.
I. It has high melting point.
II. It has high density.
III. It has high electrical conductivity
IV. B-10 isotope of it has high ability to absorb neutrons
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Boron is highly crystalline black coloured solid. 
isotopic has high ability to absorb neutrons. That's why metal borides are used in nuclear chemistry as protective shields and control rods. Boron has high melting point, low density and very low conductivity of electricity.
