Which of the following compound \(CANNOT\) act as a Lewis base ?
- A \(NF _{3}\)
- B \(PCl _{5}\)
- C \(SF _{4}\)
- D \(ClF _{3}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(PCl _{5}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Lewis base : Chemical species which has capability to donate electron pair. In \(NF _{3}, SF _{4}, ClF _{3}\) central atom (i.e. \(\left. N , S , Cl \right)\) having lone pair therefore act as lewis base. In \(PCl _{5}\) central atom \((P)\) does not have lone pair therefore…
