Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To sort out the Lewis acids and Lewis bases from the given compounds, we need to understand the definitions of Lewis acids and Lewis bases: - **Lewis Acid**: A substance that can accept a pair of electrons (electron-deficient). - **Lewis Base**: A substance that can donate a pair of electrons (electron-rich). Now, let's analyze each of the given compounds: 1. **Cl^(-)**: ...
