Boron is a solid at room temperature.
This element is classified as a metalloid, which means it exhibits properties of both metals and non-metals. At room temperature, which is approximately 20-25 degrees Celsius (68-77 degrees Fahrenheit), boron maintains a solid state. Its crystalline structure and strong covalent bonds contribute to its stability in this form.
Boron has a unique position on the periodic table, where it is categorized under the group of metalloids. The solid state of boron at room temperature allows it to be used in various applications, including in the production of borosilicate glass, detergents, and as a semiconductor in electronics.
