Compare with Definitions
Borate
Borates are boron-oxygen compounds, which form boron oxyanions. These can be trigonal or tetrahedral in structure, or more loosely can consist of chemical mixtures which contain borate anions of either description.
Boride
A boride is a compound between boron and a less electronegative element, for example silicon boride (SiB3 and SiB6). The borides are a very large group of compounds that are generally high melting and are covalent more than ionic in nature.
Borate
A salt in which the anion contains both boron and oxygen, as in borax.
Boride
A binary compound of boron with a more electropositive element.
Borate
A salt, ester, or anion of boric acid.
