This is a list of prices of chemical elements. Listed here are mainly average market prices for bulk trade of commodities. Data on elements' abundance in Earth's crust is added for comparison. As of 2020, the most expensive non-synthetic element by both mass and volume is rhodium.
Boron trioxide or diboron trioxide is the oxide of boron with the formula B 2 O 3. It is a colorless transparent solid, almost always glassy (amorphous), which can be crystallized only with great difficulty.
Grade HBN contains a boron oxide binder; it is usable up to 550–850 °C in oxidizing atmosphere and up to 1600 °C in vacuum, but due to the boron oxide content is sensitive to water. Grade HBR uses a calcium borate binder and is usable at 1600 °C.
In these uses the boron may be present as borax or boron oxide, and adds to the structural strength of the glass as borosilicate, or is added as a fluxing agent to decrease the melting temperature of pure silica, which is difficult to extrude as fibers and work with in pure form, due to the high temperatures involved.

One of its uses is as a binder in some grades of hexagonal boron nitride for hot pressing. Other uses include flame retardant in epoxy molding compounds, a ceramic flux in some ceramic glazes, reactive self-sealing binders in hazardous waste management, [1] additive for insect-resistant polystyrene, [2] fertilizer, and production of boron glasses.
Boron oxide may refer to one of several oxides of boron: Boron trioxide (B 2 O 3, diboron trioxide), the most common form; Boron monoxide (BO) Boron suboxide (B 6 O)
Boron compounds are compounds containing the element boron. In the most familiar compounds, boron has the formal oxidation state +3. These include oxides, sulfides ...
