Figure 9.33: (a) The three mutually perpendicular 2p orbitals on two adjacent boron atoms. Two pairs of parallel p orbitals can overlap as shown in (b) and (c), and the third
pair can overlap head-on as shown in (d).

Figure 9.34: (a) The two p orbitals on the boron atom that overlap head-on produce two s molecular orbitals, one bonding and one antibonding. (b) Two p orbitals that lie parallel overlap to produce two p molecular orbitals, one
bonding and one antibonding.
