Classify the following species into Lewis acids and Lewis bases and show how these act as Lewis acid`//`base:
a. `overset(Θ)(O)H, b. F^(Θ), c. H^(o+), d. BCl_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`OH^(-)` and `F^(-)` are electron rich species and can donate electron pair. Hence, these act as Lewis base.
`H^(+)` and `BCl_(3)` are electron deficient species and can accept electron pair. Hence, these can act as Lewis acid.
