BO-RON

Chem4Kids Scientist Guy with Spiked Hair
Welcome to the element boron. It's the big number five on the periodic table of elements. Society has used boron for thousands of years, but it wasn't isolated and named until 1808. Sir Humphry Davy, Guy Lussac and another scientist named Theonard named boron.

It's a tough element to isolate because it is never found alone in nature. Boron is always part of larger compounds in the real world. When you do find it... It will either be in a brown powder or a crystal. As more tests were completed, it was discovered that boron was also a very poor conductor of electricity.
