The Suzuki reaction couples acids of this element with halides, while in the Czochralski process of crystal growth it is often added as an impurity to molten silicon. With carbon and nitrogen it forms a hard substance called heterodiamond, while in its filament form, it is used in composites for the fuselage of aircraft. Its trihalide compounds are Lewis acids in solution,
The Suzuki reaction couples acids of this element with halides, while in the Czochralski process of crystal growth it is often added as an impurity to molten silicon. With carbon and nitrogen it forms a hard substance called heterodiamond, while in its filament form, it is used in composites for the fuselage of aircraft. Its trihalide compounds are Lewis acids in solution, a consequence of their electron deficiency, with only six electrons in this element's valence shell. Major sources of this element's ore are located in Turkey and the Mojave Desert. FTP, name this element with atomic number 5 and symbol B.
