Between `Na^(+)` and `Ag^(+)` , which is stronger Lewis acid and why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`Ag` is a stronger Lewis acid as it has pseudo inert gas configuration (high polarising power due to less screening effect of inner d-electrons) whereas `Na^(+)` is a Weaker acid as it has inert gas configuration (less polarising power).
