1.	Show Boron Nature with metals,nonmetals and steam.
Answer» Action of metals Except for Cu, Ag and Au, Boron combines with other metals at high temperatures to form borides. These borides are extremely hard substances. Mg₃B₂ and Be₃B₂ are attacked by acids to form boron hydrides. Action Of Non Metals Boron also reacts with non-metals. For example: Boron combines with N₂ at temperatures greater than 900 C to form boron nitride, BN. Boron forms boron sulphide B₂S₃ when heated with S. On heating with Carbon in an electric furnace an extremely hard substance namely boron carbide, B4C is formed. Action Of Steam Boron reacts with steam at red heat liberating H₂. 2B + 3H₂O → B₂O₃ + 3H₂

Answer»

Action of metals

Except for Cu, Ag and Au, Boron combines with other metals at high temperatures to form borides. These borides are extremely hard substances. Mg₃B₂ and Be₃B₂ are attacked by acids to form boron hydrides.

Action Of Non Metals

Boron also reacts with non-metals. For example: Boron combines with N₂ at temperatures greater than 900 C to form boron nitride, BN. Boron forms boron sulphide B₂S₃ when heated with S. On heating with Carbon in an electric furnace an extremely hard substance namely boron carbide, B4C is formed.

Action Of Steam

Boron reacts with steam at red heat liberating H₂.

2B + 3H₂O → B₂O₃ + 3H₂
