H(3)BO(3) is :...

`H_(3)BO_(3)` is :

A

monobasic and weak lewis acid

B

Monobasic and weak Bronsted acid

C

monobasic and strong lewis acid

D

irblasic and weak Bronsted acid.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Boron atom in `H_(2)BO_(3)` is electron deficient. Therefore, it is a Lewis acid. Since boron atom can accomondate only one additional electron pair in its valence shell. It is a weak monobasic acid.
`H_(2)O+B(OH)_(3)hArr[B(OH)_(4)]^(-)+H^(+)`
