Which of the following is not a Lewis acid?

A

`BF_(3)`

B

`AICI_(3)`

C

`BeCl_(2)`

D

`SnCl_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

According to Lewis theory, acids are electron pair acceptors such as `BF_(3), AICI_(3), SnCl_(2)` etc.
Since `BeCl_(2)` is electron rich species, it is not a Lewis acid.
