Which from the following is Lewis base?

Which from the following is Lewis base?

Options

  1. AAlCl3\text{AlCl}_3
  2. BBF3\text{BF}_3
  3. CH2O\text{H}_2\text{O}
  4. DH+\text{H}^+

Correct answer

C. H2O\text{H}_2\text{O}

Step-by-step solution

A Lewis base is a chemical species that can donate a pair of non-bonding electrons.

AlCl3\text{AlCl}_3 and BF3\text{BF}_3 are electron-deficient molecules, as the central atoms (Al and B) have incomplete octets. They accept electron pairs and act as Lewis acids.

H+\text{H}^+ is a proton with no electrons, so it accepts an electron pair and acts as a Lewis acid.

In H2O\text{H}_2\text{O}, the oxygen atom has two lone pairs of electrons that it can donate. Therefore, H2O\text{H}_2\text{O} acts as a Lewis base.

Answer: H2O\text{H}_2\text{O}
