THE STRONGER THE TENDENCY TO LOSE ELECTRONS,THE MORE ELECTROPOSITIVE AND MORE METALLIC AN ELEMENT IS.SINCE BORON IS VERY SMALL AND THE FORCE OF ATTRACTION BETWEEN THE NUCLEUS AND THE VALENCE ELECTRON IS VERY HIGH,AS WELL AS LARGE VALUE OF IONIZATION POTENTIAL INDICATES THAT BORON DOES NOT HAVE THE TENDENCY TO LOSE ELECTRONS THAT IS WHY IT IS LESS ELECTROPOSITIVE AND THEREFORE IT IS A NON-METAL
