Which of the following are Lewis acids ?
`H_2O , BF_3 ,H^+` and `NH_3`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which of the given substances are Lewis acids, we first need to understand the definition of a Lewis acid. A Lewis acid is defined as a substance that can accept an electron pair, while a Lewis base is a substance that can donate an electron pair. Let's analyze each of the given substances: 1. **H₂O (Water)**: - Water has two lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen atom. It can donate these lone pairs to form bonds. Therefore, H₂O acts as a Lewis base, not a Lewis acid. 2. **BF₃ (Boron Trifluoride)**: ...
