Which of the following molecules acts as a Lewis acid?

A

`(CH_(3))_(2)O`

B

`(CH_(3))_(3)P`

C

`(CH_(3))_(3)N`

D

`(CH_(3))_(3)B`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The basic requirement of a Lewis acid is that it must have at least one atom which is electron deficient and is capable of accepting an electron pair. This condition is satisfied by B of `(CH_(3))_(3)` B. Thus, it is a Lewis acid.
