Boron halides behave as Lewis acids because of their nature.
- A proton donor
- B covalent
- C electron deficient
- D ionising
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) electron deficient
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
According to Lewis, the compound which can accept a lone pair of electron, are called acids. Boron halides, being electron deficient compounds, can accept a lone pair of electrons, so termed as Lewis acid.
