===Meaning===
[[Boron]] is a [[Group 3]] [[metalloid]] [[element]], on the [[Periodic Table]], with an [[Atomic Number|atomic number]] of 5.
: [[Boron]] is a shiny [[solid]] at [[STP|room temperature]].

===Meaning===
[[Boron]] is a [[Group 3]] [[metalloid]] [[element]], on the [[Periodic Table]], with 5 [[proton]]s in the [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]].
: [[Boron]] is a [[metalloid]] [[element]] so in some conditions it is an [[Electrical Conductor|electrical conductor]].
: [[Boron]] is a shiny [[solid]] at [[STP|standard temperature and pressure]] and has a high [[Melting Point|melting point]].
