Boron has two naturally occurring and stable isotopes, 11 B (80.1%) and 10 B (19.9%). The mass difference results in a wide range of δ 11 B values, which are defined as a fractional difference between the 11 B and 10 B and traditionally expressed in parts per thousand, in natural waters ranging from −16 to +59.
The boron group are the chemical elements in group 13 of the periodic table, consisting of boron (B), aluminium (Al), gallium (Ga), indium (In), thallium (Tl) and nihonium (Nh). This group lies in the p-block of the periodic table. The elements in the boron group are characterized by having three valence electrons. [1]
Boron (5 B) naturally occurs as isotopes 10 B and 11 B, the latter of which makes up about 80% of natural boron. There are 13 radioisotopes that have been discovered, with mass numbers from 7 to 21, all with short half-lives, the longest being that of 8 B, with a half-life of only 771.9(9) ms and 12 B with a half-life of 20.20(2) ms.
Most atoms form B 12 discrete icosahedra; a few form partially interpenetrating icosahedra, and there are two deltahedral B 10 units, and a single central B atom. [32] For a long time, it was unclear whether the α or β phase is most stable at ambient conditions; however, gradually a consensus was reached that the β phase is the most ...

The mean oxidation number for the boron atoms is then simply the ratio of hydrogen to boron in the molecule. For example, in diborane B 2 H 6, the boron oxidation state is +3, but in decaborane B 10 H 14, it is 7 / 5 or +1.4. In these compounds the oxidation state of boron is often not a whole number.
Boron in the atmosphere is derived from soil dusts, volcanic emissions, forest fires, evaporation of boric acid from seawater, biomass emissions, and sea spray. [1] Sea salt aerosols are the largest flux to the atmosphere. On land, boron cycles through the biosphere by rock weathering, and wet and dry deposition from the atmosphere. [1] [2]
