Carbon-11 is a radioactive isotope of carbon with a half-life of about 20 minutes, commonly used in PET imaging. Boron-11 is a stable isotope of boron commonly used in nuclear reactions, such as in boron neutron capture therapy for cancer treatment.
Carbon-11 and boron-11 differ in their atomic number and chemical properties. Carbon-11 has 6 protons and 5 neutrons, while boron-11 has 5 protons and 6 neutrons. This leads to differences in their stability and reactivity. Additionally, carbon-11 is commonly used in positron emission tomography (PET) scans, while boron-11 is used in nuclear reactions and semiconductor applications.
Carbon has atomic number 6; and boron, 5. So although both isotopes of different elements have the same mass number, carbon-11 will have 5 neutrons while boron-11 have 6 neutrons. However their relative isotopic mass is the same.
Oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and boron differ in their physical and chemical properties. Oxygen and nitrogen are nonmetals, while carbon can exist in different forms (such as graphite and diamond). Boron is a metalloid. Each element has distinct atomic properties that lead to differences in behavior and reactivity.
The atomic number of boron is 5, one less than the atomic number of the atom in the block to its immediate right.
Pure boron (a metalloid) is not found in nature. Boron will be combined with something else. Pure boron could be shiny, but will usually be a brown powder when combined with carbon.
Boron is more reactive with other elements compared to carbon. Boron is a metalloid that tends to form covalent compounds in compounds such as borides. Its reactivity is influenced by its electron configuration and small atomic size.
It is just named the boron group. The elements in the group are boron (B), aluminum (Al), gallium (Ga), indium (In), thallium (Tl), and unumtrium (Uut) (scienticially prepared). The boron group all have 3 electrons in their valence levels making them an unstable group.
