Which of the following statements is true about the melting points of boron and silicon?
Boron has a higher melting point than silicon.
Silicon has a higher melting point than boron.
Both boron and silicon have the same melting point.
Neither boron nor silicon have a definite melting point.
Silicon has a higher melting point than boron due to its larger size and stronger metallic bonding. Hence option B is correct.
