In the reaction, `B(OH)_(3) + 2H_(2)O to [B(OH)_(4)]^(-) + H_(3)O^(+) ,B(OH)_(3)` functions as

A

protonic acid

B

Lewis base

C

Bronsted acid

D

Lewis acid.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
(d): `B(OH)_(3)` functions as a Lewis acid as it accepts a pair of electrons from `OH^(-)` of water by releasing a proton.
