Answer:

I believe the answer is incomplete octet.

Step-by-step explanation:

My chemistry is a bit rusty but since the central Boron atom has only 6 valence electrons (it is sharing two with each individual Cl molecule), as opposed to the customary 8, the Lewis structure is an incomplete octet.

This Lewis structure is an example of an exception. A. odd electron B. expanded octet C. incomplete octet
