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

Answer:
atoms are everything and they are use to create anything and everything
Answer:
For example, the atomic radius of the metal zirconium, Zr, (a period-5 transition element) is 155 pm (empirical value) and that of hafnium, Hf, (the corresponding period-6 element) is 159 pm. ... The increase in mass and the unchanged radii lead to a steep increase in density from 6.51 to 13.35 g/cm3.
