Boron Hydride:Trigonal Planar Molecular Geometry

An example of trigonal planar electron pair geometry and molecular geometry is BH₃. This molecule is electron deficient and does not follow the octet rule because it has only 6 valence electrons. The hydrogen atoms are as far apart as possible at 120^o. This is trigonal planar geometry. The molecule all in a plane and is two dimensional.This molecule exists in a gaseous state in only minute quantities under specialized conditions as an intermediate in the making of other boron hydride type molecules.
