Acidity of ( BF ₃ ) can be explained on the basis of which of the following concepts?
Options
- AArrhenius concept
- BBronsted-Lowry concept
- CLewis concept
- DBronsted-Lowry as well as Lewis concept
Correct answer
C. Lewis concept
Step-by-step solution
( B ) is ( BF ₃ ) is electron deficient i.e, lone-pair of electrons acceptor (Lewis acid), because in ( BF ₃ ), (B ) is (s p^2 ) hybridised and it does not satisfy octet ( ( B ) has say bonded electrons).
