CRITICAL THINKING QUESTION!
BORON (pictured here) is a hard and brittle solid when cooled, but has some malleability at higher temperatures. It is not considered to be ductile. A sample of Boron is able to conduct some heat at electricity at certain temperautres, but not as well as elements like Copper or Iron.
Based on the reading, and your knowledge of chemistry...
Would you consider Boron to be a metal, a non-metal, or both? Justify your answer with evidence.
