Boron - 5B: isotope data

Both isotopes of Boron, B-10 and B-11, are used extensively in the nuclear industry. B-10 is used in the form of boric acid as a chemical shim in pressurized water reactors while in the form of sodium pentaborate it is used for standby liquid control systems in boiling water reactors. B-11 can be used as a neutron reflector. Outside the nuclear industry both isotopes are used as food label to study boron metabolism. B-10 is also used in so-called boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). Both B-10 and B-11 can be used for the production of two radioisotopes: C-11 and N-13.

Naturally occurring isotopes

This table shows information about naturally occuring isotopes, their atomic masses, their natural abundances, their nuclear spins, and their magnetic moments. Further data for radioisotopes (radioactive isotopes) of boron are listed (including any which occur naturally) below.
Isotope Mass / Da Natural abundance (atom %) Nuclear spin (I) Magnetic moment (μ/μN)
10B 10.012 937 0(4) 19.9 (7) 3 1.80065
11B 11.009 305 5(5) 80.1 (7) 3/2 2.688637
Isotope abundances of boron
Isotope abundances of boron. In the above, the most intense ion is set to 100% since this corresponds best to the output from a mass spectrometer. This is not to be confused with the relative percentage isotope abundances which totals 100% for all the naturally occurring isotopes.

Radiosotope data

Further data for naturally occuring isotopes of boron are listed above. This table gives information about some radiosotopes of boron, their masses, their half-lives, their modes of decay, their nuclear spins, and their nuclear magnetic moments.
Isotope Mass / Da Half-life Mode of decay Nuclear spin Nuclear magnetic moment
8B 8.024607 0.770 s EC to 8Be; EC + α to 4He; EC + 2 α to n 2 1.0355
9B 9.013329 8 x 10-19 s 2α to 1H; p to 8Be 3/2 1.8006
12B 12.014352 0.0202 s β- to 12C; β- + 3α to n 1 1.0031
13B 13.017780 0.0174 s β- to 13C 3/2 3.17778
