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

Tribasic and weak Bronsted acid.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
B in `H_(3)BO_(3)` is electron deficient and therefore, it is a Lewis acid. It accepts a `OH^(-)` ion from water liberating a proton. Therefore, it behaves as a monobasic acid.
