No, boron is not a noble gas. It is a metalloid element found in the Periodic Table.
The noble gas configuration of boron is He 2s^2 2p^1, which represents the electron configuration of boron by filling up the electron orbitals in a way that mimics the nearest noble gas, helium.
Helium is the noble gas in the list provided.
2.3!<-----wrong shorthand electron configuration for Boron (B on the periodic table) is [He] 2s2 2p1 because Shorthand means building on the last noble gas element. So put the closest Noble gas element before this one and then the new addition.
When boron and argon are combined, they do not react because argon is a stable noble gas and does not readily form compounds with other elements. They would simply exist as a mixture of boron and argon.
Boron is a metalloid element on the periodic table. It is commonly used in a variety of industrial applications, such as in the production of glass, ceramics, and electronic components. Boron is also an essential nutrient for plant growth.
