5 electrons
Boron atomic number 5 has five electrons in its ground state.
Commonly Boron will lose 3 electrons leaving 2 electrons in its most common ionic form.
Explanation:
The atomic number gives the number of protons. Protons which have a positive charge are balanced by an equal number of electrons in a neutral atom.
Boron number 5 has five protons and therefore as a neutral atom also has five electrons.
Boron has an electron configuration of
1s22s22p1
The most stable electron configuration for Boron is
1s2
+ 3 charges. By losing three electrons Boron can achieve the stable electron structure of Helium

A mole of any chemical compound contains the same number of molecules - about 6.022 × 10²³ molecules.
So, 1 mole of H₂O₂, 1 mole of C₂H₂ and 1 mole of CO contain the same number of molecules.
