Boron trioxide or diboron trioxide is the oxide of boron with the formula B 2 O 3. It is a colorless transparent solid, almost always glassy (amorphous), which can be crystallized only with great difficulty.
Boron oxide may refer to one of several oxides of boron: Boron trioxide (B 2 O 3, diboron trioxide), the most common form;
Guitar slide made of borosilicate glass. Borosilicate glass is a type of glass with silica and boron trioxide as the main glass-forming constituents. Borosilicate glasses are known for having very low coefficients of thermal expansion (≈3 × 10 −6 K −1 at 20 °C), making them more resistant to thermal shock than any other common glass.
Often the boron in borides has fractional oxidation states, such as −1/3 in calcium hexaboride (CaB 6). From the structural perspective, the most distinctive chemical compounds of boron are the hydrides. Included in this series are the cluster compounds dodecaborate (B 12 H 2− 12), decaborane (B 10 H 14), and the carboranes such as C 2 B 10 ...

A trioxide is a compound with three oxygen atoms. For metals with the M 2 O 3 formula there are several common structures. Al 2 O 3 , Cr 2 O 3 , Fe 2 O 3 , and V 2 O 3 adopt the corundum structure .
Trioxidane (systematically named dihydrogen trioxide, [2] [3]), also called hydrogen trioxide [4] [5] is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula H[O] 3 H (can be written as [H(μ-O 3)H] or [H 2 O 3]). It is one of the unstable hydrogen polyoxides. [4] In aqueous solutions, trioxidane decomposes to form water and singlet oxygen:
The elements in group 13 are also capable of forming stable compounds with the halogens, usually with the formula MX 3 (where M is a boron-group element and X is a halogen.) [14] Fluorine, the first halogen, is able to form stable compounds with every element that has been tested (except neon and helium), [15] and the boron group is no exception.
