`BF_(3)` does not have proton but still acts as an acid and reacts with `NH_(3)`. Why is it so? What type of bond is formed between the two ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`BF_3` acts as a Lewis acid because it is electron deficient compound. It forms a coordinate bond with `NH_3` which acts as a base as :
`H_3N : to BF_3`
