Answer:

False

Explanation:

Boron is an exception to the octet rule because it possesses less than eight electrons. Boron has five electrons with three of them being valence electrons and therefore has an incomplete octet. It readily forms compounds in which it has six valence electrons, rather than the usual eight.

Hope that helps.

"They can bring anything from tropical warm and humid days to arctic cold depending on the type of air mass. Fronts form the boundaries of air masses with differing properties. The most severe weather usually occurs when dry-cold continental polar air clashes with warm-humid maritime tropical air."
