Boron

Boron has an acidic oxide, that means it has a strong p+ presence that will attract the OH-  group from water and leave the solution with free H+ .  So, the proton added to form Boron as we move across the periodic table is likely to be outside of the  2+ nucleus.


And the inter-atomic bonding in its lattice is likely to be,


Each atom is bonded to three other atoms.  Boron lattice has no free electrons it is not as reactive nor conductive.
