    If we draw the lewis structure, we can see that all Cl atoms are all connected to the B atom. Now Cl atoms has 7 electrons each on its outermost shell while B can donate 3 electrons. So by octet rule, each Cl will gain 1 electron each from the B atom. From the Lewis structure, we can see that there are actually No Lone pairs on the central atom.
