Detailed Solution

Each Boron binds with 4 hydrogen atoms to form the Diborane structure. Boron's valency, however, is 3. Each of the four boron atoms contributes three valence electrons, but the fourth bond is electron deficient since there isn't a valence electron from the boron atom to offer. 

Three Al atoms are joined to three Cl atoms in AlCl3. But this instance breaks the octet rule. Eight electrons are present since there are no bonds or lone pairs. Only 3 bonds, or 6 electrons, are present. In other words, it lacks electrons.
