The only thing I can think of is the size match between Cl and the B or Al; there's more likely to be an interaction between the vacant AO on Al than B and the Cl lone pairs because the AOs are better matched in energy and size, making the bonding interaction more favourable.
I might be talking rubbish but that's one theory anyway!

Why bh3 polymerizes but not ch4?
because ch4 has an octett and bh3 not so it dimerises to b2h6
How many grams are in 6.3 moles of BH3?
6.3(mol) * 13.83 (g·mol−1)= 87.1 gram BH3
How many bonds should be drawn in the Lewis-dot structure for BH3?
3
Why bh3 has less boiling point compared to nh3?
BH3 is non polar.Inter moleculer forces are much weaker Wander Voals forces.NH3 have hydrogen bonds among molecules.They are very strong comparing to Vander Woals forces.So NH3 have high boiling point.
Is it easier to oxidize an alcohol or an aldehyde?
The oxidation product of an aldehyde will depend on whether the conditions are acidic or alkaline. The aldehyde will oxidize to a carboxylic acid if it is acidic. If it is alkaline, the aldehyde will form a salt because the acid would react.
What is the chemical formula of boron and hydrogen?
BH3. but the compound generally exists as its dimer B2H6.
What is the name of the covalent compound BH?
BH is not stable, there is no compound by that formula. BH3 (boron hydride) generally exists as the dimer, B2H6, diborane.
How do you write a formula for the compound of boron chloride?
Formula: BCl3
Bh3 can't exist but bx3 can exist why?
BH3 is a electron deficient molecule it fights for the attention of all electrons therefore creating a dimmer molecule. A dimmer in scientific terms is considered non existent.
What is the melting point of BH3?
The predicted boiling point for borane is 440,34 oc.
Which is the increasing acidity order of those Lewis acid BF3 BBr3 BI3 BCl3?
Increasing order of Lewis acidity BH3>BBR3>BCl3>BF3
How many moles of BH3 are in 5.00 g of BH3?
5,00 g of BH3 is equal to 0,36 moles.
Why bh3 polymerizes but not ch4?
because ch4 has an octett and bh3 not so it dimerises to b2h6
How many grams are in 6.3 moles of BH3?
6.3(mol) * 13.83 (g·mol−1)= 87.1 gram BH3
What does boron and hydrogen make?
BH3
Does the Lewis structure of BH3 contain an atom that does not obey the octet rule?
BH3 does not obey octet rule.it has a total of six electrons only.boron has three electrons in the valence shell and it accepts one electron from each hydrogenBH3 is a planar molecule and is found only in the gaseous state.BH3 dimerises to form B2H6 with 4 terminal hydrogens attached by normal covalent bonds and 2 hydrogen bridges , 3 centre 2 electron bonds. Once again in the dimer it does not obey the octet rule.
Chemical formula of boron trihydride?
it is BH3
