The bonding in XH3 can be considered in terms of the interactions between the orbitals of atom X and the LGOs of the H3 fragment. For the LGOs, when X = B, the in-phase combination of H 1s orbitals has a1 symmetry, but when X = N, it has a1 symmetry. This is because: NH3 has C3v symmetry, but BH3 belongs to the D3h point group NH3 has D3h symmetry, but BH3 belongs to the C3v point group NH3 has C3v symmetry, but BH3 belongs to the D3d point group NH3 has C3 symmetry, but BH3 belongs to the C3v point group
