The charge of the borate ion (BO3) is -3.
The (oxy) borate ion is (BO3)3-.
trigonal planar
Three electron domains refer to the arrangement of electrons around a central atom in a molecule or ion. This can correspond to a trigonal planar geometry, where the electron domains are positioned at the corners of an equilateral triangle around the central atom. Examples of molecules with three electron domains include boron trifluoride (BF3) and ozone (O3).
There are 3 unpaired electrons in an isolated nitrogen atom, the nitrogen molecule has none.

3 bondings + 1 electron pair = 4 (electron domains)
PH3 has 3 bonding pairs and 1 non-bonding pair of electrons. Its electron pair geometry is Tetrahedral and its molecular geometry is Trigonal Pyramidal.
The charge of the borate ion (BO3) is -3.
The molecular geometry of H3O+ is Trigonal Pyramidal because it has 3 bonding pairs and 1 nonbonding pair (lone pair)
borate ion
tetrahedral for electron pair geometry trigonal pyramidal for molecular geometry
The (oxy) borate ion is (BO3)3-.
B + 3O-(-3)=0 B-6+3=0 B=+3 i hope this helps
3 electron groups classified as trigonal planar. The molecular geometry is Angular or Bent whichever you prefer to call the shape. The ideal bond angles are 120 degrees and the molecule is polar.
