Assertion (A): Both reactions are Lewis acid-base recations?
i. `NH_(3) + BF_(3) rarr H_(3)N: BF_(3)`
ii. `Mg +S rarr Mg^(2+) +S^(2-)`
Reason (R) : Lewis acid-base reaction involve the donation of lone pair electrons from base to acid. this donation results in a corrdinate bond.

A

If both (A) and (R) are correc, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

B

If both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

C

If (A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect.

D

If (A) is incorrect, but (R) is correct.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we will analyze both the assertion and the reason step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the First Reaction The first reaction given is: \[ NH_3 + BF_3 \rightarrow H_3N:BF_3 \] - In this reaction, ammonia (NH3) acts as a Lewis base because it has a lone pair of electrons that it can donate. - Boron trifluoride (BF3) acts as a Lewis acid because it has an incomplete octet and can accept electrons. - When NH3 donates its lone pair to BF3, a coordinate bond is formed, resulting in the complex \( H_3N:BF_3 \). ### Step 2: Analyze the Second Reaction The second reaction given is: \[ Mg + S \rightarrow Mg^{2+} + S^{2-} \] - In this reaction, magnesium (Mg) loses two electrons to form \( Mg^{2+} \), and sulfur (S) gains two electrons to form \( S^{2-} \). - This process involves the transfer of electrons but does not involve the formation of a coordinate bond. - Instead, it results in the formation of ionic bonds, which is different from Lewis acid-base reactions. ### Step 3: Conclusion on Assertion and Reason - The assertion states that both reactions are Lewis acid-base reactions. This is **false** because only the first reaction qualifies as a Lewis acid-base reaction. - The reason states that Lewis acid-base reactions involve the donation of lone pair electrons from the base to the acid, resulting in a coordinate bond. This is **true**. ### Final Answer - The assertion is false, and the reason is true. Therefore, the correct answer is D: Assertion is false, Reason is true. ---
