Geocache Description:

One of the caches in the ChemCache IIIA: Whistogens (GC11J4D) Series. Get the code to solve the puzzle!

This is another one of the Chem Caches - This one is part of the unknown cache series ChemCache IIIA: Whistogens. Boron is a Group 13 element. Boron has properties which are borderline between metals and non-metals. It is a semiconductor rather than a metallic conductor. Chemically it is closer to silicon than to aluminium, gallium, indium, and thallium. Crystalline boron is inert chemically and is resistant to attack by boiling HF or HCl. When finely divided it is attacked slowly by hot concentrated nitric acid. [from www.webelements.com]
