i)
Boron tends to produce monomeric covalent halides due to its “small size” and “high electronegativity”. These halides have a triangular planar geometry. This triangular shape consists of the overlap between three hybridized boron orbitals and the sp orbitals of three halogen atoms. Boron have hybridization.
(ii)
The hybridization of boron-hydride ion is and geometry of is tetrahedral.
