  1. BF3 because it doesn't have an octet.


  2. Boron triflouride BF3 is different because Boron it is the only one that does not have 5 valence elections.  Instead of being trigonal pyramidal like the other 3 choices, it will be trigonal planar.

  3. BF3, the others are all trigonal pyrimidal with three bonding pairs and one lone pair around their central atoms.

  4. A little music, please.  "Which molecule is not like the others?"

    PH3 - trigonal pyramidal

    BF3 - trigonal planar

    PCl3 - trigonal pyramidal

    NCl3 - trigonal pyramidal
