Boron compounds behave as Lewis acid because of their
- A electron rich in nature
- B electron deficient in nature
- C ionisation properties
- D proton donating nature
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) electron deficient in nature
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Boron compounds are often employed as Lewis acids due to strong electrophilic nature granted by a vacant \(p\)-orbital into which electrons can be received. It behaves as Lewis acid as its number of valence shell electrons is 3 . Thus, its octet is incomplete. e.g.…
