Boron

Boron is a chemical element, it's atomic number is 5 and it's letter of identification is B. It becomes stable with 5 to 6 electrons in it's orbit, and isn't harmful to animals. It's similar to table salt in toxicity and is often used in insecticides to kill bugs. It's brown and black, it's similar in substance to dirt. The name originates from the Arabic word buraq, which is the name for the mineral borax. It took many years before it was actually recognized as an element until about 1808 when it was isolated. Boron isn't studied as often as most elements, because it's material is extremely difficult to prepare. It behaves more like Silicon rather than aluminum. Boron is often used in inner plating with ballistic vests, as boron is known to be tough and similar to rock in certain forms.
