B text G.s. 1 s2, 2 s2, 2 p1 <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/415623a65d84b659db4941bfa3773f6d-.png" /> It means B has three electrons in valence shell and shares three electrons with halogens that makes total of six electrons. Hence, they are electron deficient compounds.

B $_{G.s.} 1 s^{2}, 2 s^{2}, 2 p^{1}$

It means $B$ has three electrons in valence shell and shares three electrons with halogens that makes total of six electrons.
Hence, they are electron deficient compounds.
