Acidity of \( \mathrm{BF}_{3} \) can be explained on which of the following concepts?
- A Arrhenius concept
- B Bronsted-Lowry concept
- C Lewis concept
- D Bronsted-Lowry as well as Lewis concept
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Lewis concept
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Lewis acids are those who can accept an electron pair. As, the octet of B is incomplete, because it has only six electrons
in its valence shell, therefore, it will act as Lewis acid.
in its valence shell, therefore, it will act as Lewis acid.
