What is the electron pair geometry surrounding the boron atom in BH₃? A)Trigonal planar B)Linear C)Angular (Bent) D)Trigonal pyramid E)Tetrahedral

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The electron pair geometry surrounding the boron atom in BH₃ (BH3) is trigonal planar. Boron forms three bonds with hydrogen atoms, and since it has no lone pairs, the geometry is determined solely by the bonds, resulting in a trigonal planar shape.
