Between `Na^(+)` and `Ag^(+)` , which is stronger Lewis acid and why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`Ag^(+)`
`Ag^(+)` is stronger Lewis acid because it can easily accommodate lone pair of electrons from Lewis base. On the other hand, `Na^(+)` has noble gas configuration, cannot accept lone pair of electron, not at all a Lewis acid.
