Arrange according to increasing Lewis acid character,
`BF_(3)`, `BCI_(3)`, `BBr_(3)` `Bl_(3)`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To arrange the compounds \( BF_3 \), \( BCl_3 \), \( BBr_3 \), and \( BI_3 \) according to increasing Lewis acid character, we need to analyze the factors affecting their Lewis acidity. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the Central Atom**: All the compounds have boron (B) as the central atom in \( BF_3 \), \( BCl_3 \), \( BBr_3 \), and \( BI_3 \). Boron has an empty p-orbital that can accept a pair of electrons, which is a characteristic of Lewis acids. **Hint**: Look for the central atom in each compound and its ability to accept electron pairs. ...
