B-11

My element was boron. The element symbol is B. Its atomic number is 5 and its atomic mass is 11. Its density is 2.34 g/cm3 .Which means it sinks because the density is more than 1 gram. Boron is a metalloid. Metalloids are elements that are found along the stair step line that tells the difference from non-metals and metals. Metalloids have different properties of non-metals and metals. Boron was discovered by Sir Humphry Davy, J.L Gay-Lussac. Boron uses heat resistant alloys.
