Assertion (A): Both reactions are Lewis acid-base recations?
i. `NH_(3) + BF_(3) rarr H_(3)N: BF_(3)`
ii. `Mg +S rarr Mg^(2+) +S^(2-)`
Reason (R) : Lewis acid-base reaction involve the donation of lone pair electrons from base to acid. this donation results in a corrdinate bond.

A

If both (A) and (R) are correc, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

B

If both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

C

If (A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect.

D

If (A) is incorrect, but (R) is correct.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`(A)` only reaction (i) is Lewis acid-base reaction. Hence `(A)` is wrong.
`(R)` is correct.
