The correct Answer is:
To solve the question based on the Lewis concept of acids and bases, we need to analyze each option provided in the question. According to the Lewis concept: 1. **Lewis Acid**: A species that can accept a lone pair of electrons (it must have vacant orbitals). 2. **Lewis Base**: A species that can donate a lone pair of electrons (it must have lone pairs available). Now, let's evaluate the options step by step: ### Step 1: Analyze AG⁺ and Nitrogen - **AG⁺**: This ion has a vacant orbital and can accept a lone pair. Therefore, it acts as a Lewis acid. - **Nitrogen**: Nitrogen typically has a lone pair of electrons that it can donate. Thus, it acts as a Lewis base. - **Conclusion**: This interaction is valid according to the Lewis concept. ### Step 2: Analyze Br₂ and FeCl₃ - **Br₂**: Each bromine atom in Br₂ has three lone pairs. It can donate a lone pair, making it a Lewis base. - **FeCl₃**: This compound is electron-deficient and can accept a lone pair, acting as a Lewis acid. - **Conclusion**: This interaction is valid according to the Lewis concept. ### Step 3: Analyze Oxygen and Zinc - **Oxygen**: In this case, oxygen donates a lone pair to zinc. If oxygen is forming bonds and has a positive charge, it indicates that it has donated a lone pair, making it a Lewis base. - **Zinc**: Zinc can accept the lone pair, acting as a Lewis acid. - **Conclusion**: This interaction is valid according to the Lewis concept. ### Step 4: Analyze Alcohols and CO₂ - **Alcohols**: Alcohols have lone pairs on the oxygen atom, allowing them to act as Lewis bases. - **CO₂**: Carbon dioxide is electron-deficient and can accept a lone pair, acting as a Lewis acid. - **Conclusion**: This interaction is valid according to the Lewis concept. ### Step 5: Analyze NH₄⁺ and S²⁻ - **NH₄⁺**: The ammonium ion has no lone pairs available for donation because all electrons of nitrogen are involved in bonding with hydrogen atoms. Therefore, it cannot act as a Lewis base. - **S²⁻**: Sulfide ion can donate a lone pair, but since NH₄⁺ cannot donate a lone pair, this interaction is not valid. - **Conclusion**: This interaction is NOT valid according to the Lewis concept. ### Final Conclusion Based on the analysis: - **Correct options**: A, B, C - **Incorrect option**: D (NH₄⁺ cannot act as a Lewis base) ### Answer The correct options according to the Lewis concept are A, B, and C. ---
