Is boron a cation or an anion?

Answer 1

Boron is an element and is neither an anion or cation. If ionized it would tend to from B3+ and would be thus a cation.

Answer 2

Boron is a metalloid element with the symbol B. In chemical compounds, boron tends to form covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds, so it does not typically exist as a cation or anion in its pure elemental form.
