Valence shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) model (Section 1.10) Method for predicting the shape of a molecule based on the notion that electron pairs surrounding a central atom repel one another. Four electron pairs will arrange themselves in a tetrahedral geometry, three will assume a trigonal planar geometry, and two electron pairs will adopt a linear arrangement. 

Two electron pairs are as far apart as possible when they are directed at 180° to one another. This gives BeF2 a linear structure. The three electron pairs around the boron atom in BF3 are directed toward the comers of an equilateral triangle the bond angles are 120°. We describe this geometry as trigonal planar. 

An inner atom with a steric number of 3 has trigonal planar electron group geometry. 

Trimethylboron is an example of one type of Lewis acid. This molecule has trigonal planar geometry in which the boron atom is s hybridized with a vacant 2 p orbital perpendicular to the plane of the molecule (Figure 21-11. Recall from Chapter 9 that atoms tend to use all their valence s and p orbitals to form covalent bonds. Second-row elements such as boron and nitrogen are most stable when surrounded by eight valence electrons divided among covalent bonds and lone pairs. The boron atom in B (CH ) can use its vacant 2 p orbital to form a fourth covalent bond to a new partner, provided that the new partner supplies both electrons. Trimethyl boron is a Lewis acid because it forms an additional bond by accepting a pair of electrons from some other chemical species. 

The simplest type of Lewis acid-base reaction is the combination of a Lewis acid and a Lewis base to form a compound called an adduct. The reaction of ammonia and trimethyl boron is an example. A new bond forms between boron and nitrogen, with both electrons supplied by the lone pair of ammonia (see Figure 21-21. Forming an adduct with ammonia allows boron to use all of its valence orbitals to form covalent bonds. As this occurs, the geometry about the boron atom changes from trigonal planar to tetrahedral, and the hybrid description of the boron valence orbitals changes from s p lo s p ...
