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
Show Hint
Boron has high melting point and B-10 isotope is useful in neutron absorption.
Boron has a high melting point due to its strong covalent structure.
It is a metalloid with poor electrical conductivity. The isotope B-10 is used as a neutron absorber in nuclear reactors. Hence only statements I and IV are correct.
