Is the boron neutral atom or ion?

Boron would have a

+

3

charge.

Explanation:

Boron has an atomic number of

5

. For an atom to be an ion, it wants to have full electron shells with the "minimum number" (this is hard to explain). So that means that boron would either want

2

electrons or

10

electrons. Of course, it would be easier to have

2

electrons from

5

electrons, so there it will lose

3

electrons, and would have a final charge of

+

3

.

water and alcohols have similar properties because water molecules contain hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and with alcohol molecules, and likewise alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds with other alcohol molecules as well as with water.
