It adopts a trigonal planar shape. Imagine the central Boron atom sitting in the middle of a triangle with three Chlorine atoms at the corners, all perfectly flat on a single plane.
is an "unsung hero" of the digital age. Experts at Asia Isotope note that without this gas, your smartphone might not exist. It is primarily used for: BCl3 Boron Trichloride - Merck Group Bcl3.mp4
Boron is a bit of a rebel in chemistry; it is stable with only six valence electrons instead of the usual eight (the "octet rule"). It adopts a trigonal planar shape
Even though the individual bonds between Boron and Chlorine are polar, the molecule's perfect symmetry causes these forces to cancel out, making the overall molecule nonpolar .
